Verse Novel- 296 pages- Published 2015

This was a good, easy book It’s a short book that tells the story of Timothy, a young kid who has to take on the role of a father. His father leaves him, his mother, and his baby brother Levi. Levi has a breathing issue and lung problems. Levi’s medicine is expensive and since they are running low on money, Timothy steals a wallet to pay for Levi’s medicine. He gets house arrest and has to visit a probation officer and a therapist. Timothy struggles with poverty and the absence of a father during the book. This story is told by Timothy in first person. I recommend this book for people who like short books. It’s interesting

I liked doing blog posts because they were easy. I didn’t like how we met up every other class because I read ahead and it got hard to remember which things happened in which section.

4/5 stars.
