   Books Read in 2017 (1,441) 6th Grade (49) Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro.   ) ACLopez6 | Feb 25, 2023 |  A heartfelt verse novel about 12 year old Timothy who is caught after stealing a wallet. We are told the story through the court mandated journal entries that he writes over the course of his year under house arrest. Timothy loves his unwell infant brother, Levi, so deeply that he stole the wallet in order to help pay for Levi’s life-saving medicine. This is a beautifully written and moving story that drew me in and I desperately wanted things to work out for the family. I adored James. Everyone needs a 'James' in their lives. The bittersweet ending left a tear in my eye. A wonderful middle school novel.

Timothy’s 12-year-old life revolves around his baby brother Levi’s medical condition. Levi was born needing a “trach,” whereby a tube is placed in his neck to breathe, which makes his daily existence tenuous. Timothy’s world on Magnolia Circle in Texas is grounded by both his neighbor José as well as his earnest mother, who protects Timothy from having contact with his deserting father. Trying to help pay for medical expenses, Timothy brazenly steals a wallet that lands him on house arrest for one year. Along with his sentence comes juvenile probation officer James and the school guidance counselor, Mrs. B. Holt’s use of free-verse narrative, organized by seasons and weeks of the year, develops a pace for Timothy’s reluctance in writing his court-ordered journal entries. Timothy’s every action, while impulsive, centers on his deep brotherly love. Readers who empathize with Timothy’s determination regardless of consequence will appreciate Holt’s lessons of compassion and family above all. PrémiosNotable Lists
