House Arrest  by K.A Holt is one of the best books I read this year or maybe in general, The  book   can make you fall in love with the  main character even as technically a  criminal. as well with side characters you will like just as much  depending on the person more the main character or   with a perfect and heart retching plot 10/10 but for this website  5/5

A moving story with a very sympathetic lead character - even if he is a juvenile delinquent (for good reason!)

I had made assumptions about this book based on the title, and I avoided reading and purchasing this novel in verse. I wish I had read this book earlier so I could have shared it with my students, it's a worthwhile read!

What a beautiful book in a different kind of format. Loved the main character. I need to read the sequel.

I'm not crying. You're crying.

That ending. I want to know more!! What happens to Levi. Timothy. Their parents.

This is a quick read, since it's a novel in verse. It packs an emotional punch.
