Timothy never thought he’d end up on probation. That kind of thing happens to other kids—not kids like him.
But after making a desperate choice to help his struggling family, Timothy finds himself under house arrest for a year. Now, he must check in weekly with a probation officer and therapist, keep a journal, and—above all—stay out of trouble. But when his baby brother’s health worsens and the weight of his family’s struggles grows heavier, Timothy faces an impossible choice: follow the rules, or risk everything to do what’s right.
Told in gripping verse, House Arrest is a heartfelt, unforgettable middle-grade novel about family, sacrifice, and redemption. Perfect for fans of The Crossover and Wonder, this award-winning book is as funny as it is deeply moving.
