Narrative During Books Tribes

Percy’s father, a famous anthropologist, died in Africa four years ago; and Percy has taken on his father’s eyes to see the world as a brilliant Observer. He and his friend Elissa are fascinated by the ritualistic world called Grade Twelve: the Jock tribe; the Teacher tribe; the Born Again tribe; the Cool and Detached tribe; the Lipstick/Hairspray tribe, not to mention Mr. Verplaz, the Shaman. For Percy it’s crucial to withdraw, analyze, and remain above it all. But wait–he’s studying real people, who complicate things. Like Elissa, the only person who can come close to him, maybe too close. The only person who knows how painful it was last year when their best friend Willard died. As graduation approaches, the looming ritual ratchets up Percy’s deepest, hidden feelings and reveals the truth about his father’s disappearance.

Write-Up Of Books Tribes

I'm a little more than half done - no idea what page number (Kindle doesn't do page numbers). The principal character's arms' length (or longer) look at life is really dominant and it is annoying, on purpose, I'm sure. Perk is dealing with a lot - the death of his father and his best friend who committed suicide. And then the alienation, bullying, wandering of high school - he's got his hands full.Do I know how the book ends? Probably. Will it be worth it? I'm not sure. The book is a quick read

The main character in this book, Percy, reminds me of Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory, if Sheldon was an anthropologist. And still in high school. The book is about Percy's last week of high school and figuring out who he is. It was an ok read.

liked the concept but pretty basic. didn't tell me anything i didn't know.

What a fantastical way for a teen to live with his father's betrayal.Percy's 'coping mechanism' for his father's betrayal was to believe he died in Africa from a tsetse fly bite. The stresses of Year 12 coupled with this and the death by suicide of his best friend, cause Percy to come to breaking point.I loved the descriptive way Percy spoke (and thought). A great way to hide history lessons. Percy liked to think of himself as another Charles Darwin and took offense, which made me chuckle, when
