Lewis Blake is lonely. Because Lewis is so smart, he is one of the only “rez” kids in his classes at the white school. He is completely ignored by his prejudicial peers. Then George Haddonfield, a new kid from the Air Force base, meets Lewis and they strike up a friendship. Lewis and George share an interest in rock and roll, especially anything Beatles. Because of his friendship with George, Lewis isn’t “invisible” any more. Unfortunately, Lewis attracts the attention of a particularly vicious and powerful bully, Evan Reiniger. Lewis spends his time navigating reservation and family “rules” while trying to maintain a friendship with his white friend, and avoiding Evan Reiniger whenever possible.
