First, I am really enjoying this book and I didn't think I was even going to like it. Reading it makes me want to read more books by Sherman Alexia.
Ok, Jr. starts a new school in Rearden with mostly white people. We learn Jr's real name is Arnold Spirit and that he kind of becomes Arnold at school and Jr on the rez. We also find out about the Indian Rules of Fisticuffs and that Jr doesn't realize everyone doesn't follow these rules he has know all of his life. Arnold also is confronted by a group of studs and eventually punches one of them name Roger. Roger then respects Arnold.
Arnold likes a girl at school named Penelope. She is nice to Arnold and seems to respect him but doesn't like him in the same way he likes her. Also, Arnold realized he is smarter than most of the kids at his new school and eventually he becomes sort of friends with a smart nerd named Gordy.
Mary, Jr.'s sister, sends him an email letting him know about her life on the big new reservation in Montana called Flathead and she loves her life. The email tells how different life is on that reservation from the rez where Jr. lives.
