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 middlegrade 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.

Excellent, moving story, and creatively done. My daughter picked this book out at the bookstore. I tell ya, she's got a knack for picking good ones!
*3.5 stars. Would have been a solid 4 or even 4.5, but I was not a fan of the ending (the last segment of plot OR the last page. Honestly I can't tell you which disappointed me more.).
