 en to the audiobook</strong></p>\n<p><em>Flight</em> by Sherman Alexie</p>
 \n<p>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. A fearless novel about a lost boy 
 in search of his identity\, this is the third novel by National Book Award
  winner Sherman Alexie.</p>\n<p>About to commit a devastating act\, young 
 "Zits" finds himself shot back through time on a shocking sojourn through 
 moments of violence in American history. He resurfaces in the form of an F
 BI agent during the civil rights era\, inhabits the body of an Indian chil
 d during the battle at Little Big Horn\, and then rides with an Indian tra
 cker in the nineteenth-century before materializing as an airline pilot je
 tting through the skies today. When finally\, blessedly\, our young warrio
 r comes to rest again in his own contemporary body\, he is mightily transf
 ormed by all he has seen.</p>\n<p>Check for availability of <a href="https
