### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Moving and powerful. A great read.
*by B***Y on December 28, 2016*

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.
