Acerca deste livro eletrónico
"Moving . . . Readers will nod their heads in sympathy with this guy who breaks the rules for all of the right reasons." — The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
A Bank Street College of Education Best Book of the Year
Indiana Too Good to Miss State Reading List 2018
Timothy is on probation. It's a strange word—something that happens to other kids, to delinquents, not to kids like him. And yet, he is under house arrest for the next year. He must check in weekly with a probation officer and a therapist, and keep a journal for an entire year. And mostly, he has to stay out of trouble. But when he must take drastic measures to help his struggling family, staying out of trouble proves more difficult than Timothy ever thought it would be. By turns touching and funny, and always original, House Arrest is a middle grade novel in verse about one boy's path to redemption as he navigates life with a sick brother, a grieving mother, and one tough probation officer.
"This gripping novel in verse evokes a wide variety of emotional responses, as it is serious and funny, thrilling and touching, sweet and snarky." — School Library Journal
"Touches of humor lighten the mood, and Holt's firsthand knowledge of the subject adds depth to this poignant drama without overwhelming it." — Publishers Weekly
"Readers . . . will appreciate Holt's lessons of compassion and family above all." — Booklist
" House Arrest will hit home with young boys and girls, especially if they have ever dealt with an ill relative. The story is touching, warm, and impressive." — Kid Lit Reviews
