PRINTZ HONOR AWARD
NATIONAL BOOK AWARD LONGLIST A moving memoir-in-verse that chronicles one Native teenager's search for belonging The term "Apple" is a slur in Native communities across the country. It's for someone supposedly "red on the outside, white on the inside." In Apple (Skin to the Core), Eric Gansworth tells his story, the story of his family--of Onondaga among Tuscaroras--of Native folks everywhere. From the horrible legacy of the government boarding schools, to a boy watching his siblings leave and return and leave again, to a young man fighting to be an artist who balances multiple worlds. Eric shatters that slur and reclaims it in verse and prose and imagery that truly lives up to the word heartbreaking. P R A I S E WINNER, AMERICAN INDIAN YOUTH LITERATURE AWARD Best of the Year: TIME - NPR - Shelf Awareness - American Indians in Youth Literature "Stirring.... Raw and moving."--TIME "Beautiful imagery and with words that soar and scald."--The Buffalo News "Easily one of the best books to be published in 2020. The kind of book bound to save lives."-- LitHub "A powerful narrative about identity and belonging." --Paste Magazine ★ "Timely and important." --Booklist (starred)
★ "Searing yet dryly funny." --The Bulletin (starred)
★ "Exceptional." --Shelf-Awareness (starred)
★ "Captivating." --School Library Journal (starred)
