House Arrest Review By: Bella L

             The Book House Arrest deserves a Newbery award because it has a great plot and it is very interesting because it is written in verse and that is very cool. It was the first time I every read in verse. This book is about a boy and his brother is sick and can get sick very often because he cannot breath correctly. So everything comes from his neck. At one time his brother got very sick. He didn't know what to do and he needed to get medicine. When he went to the store he stole a mans wallet so he could buy the medicine because the medicine is so expensive and Levi gets so sick. He goes through some hard times but he gets through it. Also his mother didn't really trust him because he stole a wallet. But he still always thought that one thing gone wrong can send him to jail.  I think this book will get a Newbery award because of it's outstanding plot. -Bella L
