House Arrest Book Club Meets...

The book club for K.A. Holt's House Arrest, met two times in October. It was a great read and provoked several questions about honesty and what is right vs. wrong in certain situations. Timothy is on probation. It’s a strange word—something that happens to other kids, to delinquents, not to kids like him. And yet, he is under house arrest for the next year. He must check in weekly with a probation officer and a therapist, and keep a journal for an entire year. And mostly, he has to stay out of trouble. But when he must take drastic measures to help his struggling family, staying out of trouble proves more difficult than Timothy ever thought it would be. Would you go to drastic measures to help a family member in need?
