{"product_id":"flight-9780802170378","title":"Flight by Alexie, Sherman","description":"The best-selling author of multiple award-winning books returns with his first novel in ten years, a powerful, fast and timely story of a troubled foster teenager -- a boy who is not a \"legal\" Indian because he was never claimed by his father -- who learns the true meaning of terror. About to commit a devastating act, the young man finds himself shot back through time on a shocking sojourn through moments of violence in American history. He resurfaces in the form of an FBI agent during the civil rights era, inhabits the body of an Indian child during the battle at Little Big Horn, and then rides with an Indian tracker in the 19th Century before materializing as an airline pilot jetting through the skies today. When finally, blessedly, our young warrior comes to rest again in his own contemporary body, he is mightily transformed by all he's seen. This is Sherman Alexie at his most brilliant -- making us laugh while breaking our hearts. Simultaneously wrenching and deeply humorous, wholly contemporary yet steeped in American history, \u003ci\u003eFlight\u003c\/i\u003e is irrepressible, fearless, and again, groundbreaking Alexie.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sherman Alexie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press, Black Cat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/17\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802170378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.7\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e117051 \/ Flight\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Tayshas Reading - Commended\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2006 pg. 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/26\/2007 pg. 54\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2007 pg. 78\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2007 pg. 37\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/04\/2007 pg. 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/27\/2007 pg. 13\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoice of Youth Advocates\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2007 pg. 251 - Recommended - Better Than Most\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2007 pg. 143\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMulticultural Review\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2008 pg. 45\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eALA Best Books Young Adults\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2008 pg. 1","brand":"Grove Press, Black Cat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43655806156953,"sku":"9780802170378","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3367\/0297\/files\/img_a3fcbe60-70ca-48e3-a0d1-2844ea002e5d.jpg?v=1724693600","url":"https:\/\/bookmarksretail.store\/products\/flight-9780802170378","provider":"Bookmarks Retail","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
