Last week it was a big week to promote books for young adults with Diverse main characters, so THE DIARY of a PART-TIME INDIAN fits well with this theme. I didn't read anything, but went to a movie and they showed a movie that soon will be on the screen: One of your favourites - THE FAULT in OUR STARS by John Green. Should be an interesting movie to see.
