12 Life Lessons From Young Adult Books That Are Valuable For Any Age

Sherman Alexie's semi-autobiographical YA novel, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, depicts the adventures of a young man who decides to leave his Spokane Indian Reservation. He struggles with the backlash of "abandoning" his childhood friends and family, but learns a lot through the experience. While most adult decisions won't be as drastic as leaving the place where your family has lived for generations, Alexie's novel can serve as encouragement to change the aspects of your life that make you unhappy.
