Growing up in a gang in the city can be dark. Growing up Native American in a gang in Chicago is a whole different story.

This dark, compelling, occasionally inappropriate, and often hilarious linked story collection introduces a character who defies all stereotypes about urban life and Indians. He will be in readers' heads for a long time to come.

I haven't read anything this real and raw and necessary in a long time. . . . It's a book that'll lodge in you. There's moments and lines and images in here that cut through all the lies, right into the heart of childhood, right into the beating heart of Indian country."" - Stephen Graham Jones, author of Mongrels: A Novel
