Flight by Sherman Alexie
Native American Indian Sherman Alexie, presents a troubled hero who has been in and out of foster homes all his life. He is about to commit a terrible act of violence when at the crucial moment he is shot back through time. The speed with which this unusual story unfolds is breath-taking as ‘zits’ is transported to the Battle of Little Bighorn, the Civil Rights marches and other critical times in history. Right at the moment of terrible violence being committed he is moved to another scenario. These journeys seem to be saving ‘zits’ from himself. This is a superb book, both funny and dark and is one of the best books I have read this year.
