House Arrest by K.A. Holt

The book that I have read this year that I thought was better than others  is called House Arrest by K.A Holt. The book is about this kid named Timothy he stole a credit card to get medicine for his little baby brother. But he got caught and he went to juvie for a little bit and when he got out, the judge put Timothy on House arrest for a year. The only reason he did that because his mom can’t afford the medicine to help his brother and his father left when his brother was born. Timothy’s brother, Levi,  is sick and has to be monitored every hour because he has a trachea in his neck that helps him breathe because he can’t breathe through his mouth. Timothy has’t to put all his thought and how his day goes in a journal why he is on house arrest.

House Arrest is really great book with many challenges that Timothy goes through during the whole time he is on house arrest. Also the book is organized in like poetry  but it is written in prose like verse. This book is realistic fiction because the stuff that happens in this book are real stuff that could happen in real life. I would recommend this book to anybody  because it was one of the best books I read during the school year and I think that it will really be good to read this summer for people to read or just read whenever.
