Perry lives in prison. Not in a cell or anything, in a room next to a lounge in the jail where his mother lives with other nonviolent offenders. That is, until Thomas VanLeer, a district attorney informed about the situation and decides to grt him out. But Perry likes it in the jail, staying with the prisoners who treat him like their own son. At the VanLeer house, everything is upside down. The ceiling has swirls in the paint instead of being made of square tiles. The VanLeers live differently than he has. And worst of all, Mr. VanLeer won't let him spend uch tie at the visitation days back at prison. His only hope is for his mom to get parole so he can be with her again.
Hmmm... Interesting. The perspective of someone whose parent(s) are in jail isn't one we get to hear that often.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds interesting, and I don't think that I have ever read a book about someone who wants to be in jail. Is it intentional that the author's name and the character's name are the same? Do you know if it is based off of a true story?
ReplyDeleteThe author's name is Leslie Connor.
