Chronicle Books House Arrest

El libro se solicitó por la escuela, y llegó en tiempo y forma.

Quick read. LOVE LOVE LOVE this book. Really teaches understanding and compassion. It was funny and sad and touching and just a really wonderful book. I listened to it on audio book and loved it enough I had to purchase a copy for myself (new and excellent condition). I think it would be great for "tough" kids, good kids, bullies, anybody. I am a middle school teacher and would love for my students to read it, and I also asked my husband to read it! It's great for anyone, I'd say 12 to 112. :)

Wow. This book! It's so much more than I thought it would be.Timothy is on probation and house arrest and the story is told in verse, through journal entries to his probation officer and therapist.You find that Timothy is an amazing kid who adores his single mother, and his brother (who seems to suffer from cystic fibrosis) even more.It's a sad story about poverty, class, medical care/costs, and crime and how all of these things are connected. I'ts a very fast read, perfect for any reader, 4th Grade through adult.Well done.

Our class recently read House Arrest by K. A. Holt. Timothy, the main character, has a brother who is very sick. Timothy makes a bad choice to try and help his brother. This choice ends with him under House Arrest. If House Arrest were made into a movie, we would give it a PG rating. The book is 296 pages long. We would give this book a 4.5 star rating because of the cliffhanger ending. This book is available online through amazon and can be found at your local library.P.S. Do not attempt some of Timothy’s choices at home

My 6th graders loved it and we had wonderful discussions about the book.
