For people who are able to handle multple plot lines

This book is about three Indian children who live with their grandmother on an Indian reservation in Oregon. The children's names are Marta, who is nineteen, Cultus, who is fifteen, and Angie, who is twelve. The problem is that Cultus is a big troublemaker and hates school. One day he causes a lot of trouble and gets suspended from the bus for a week. Katla, his grandmother, got so mad at the bus driver and not Cultus! Katla is a very firm person and never gives up on anything. On the weekened she went to the principal's home and complained until he shut the door right in her face. She left and Cultus didn't go to school for a week! About two weeks later Cultus escaped and went to a store that was close by. He saw a car that was running , hopped in and rode off. He was caught by the police and sent to a home for boys who did things like this. He had to stay there until the people there decided that he could go back home again.I think that this book is good if you like to read about people who are bullies and get in a lot of trouble. I thought that this book was a little hard to follow because it had a lot of different things happening at one time. Although it was confusing, it turned out to be a great story!
