Flight
by Sherman Alexie

Meet Zits, a troubled teen bouncing through foster homes and grappling with his identity— a boy who is not a 'legal' Indian because he was never claimed by his father. Just when things couldn't get more chaotic, he's thrust into a whirlwind of time travel, experiencing life through the eyes of different people in pivotal moments of history—an FBI agent during the civil rights movement, a Native American child at Little Bighorn, and even an airline pilot soaring through modern skies.

Zits' journey not only exposes him to the harsh realities of violence and loss but also transforms him in profound ways, blending humor with heartbreak as he learns about empathy and the importance of understanding one's roots. A story that challenges perceptions while offering a unique blend of magical realism and historical insight, Flight is an unforgettable exploration of self-discovery and resilience.
