Twelve-year-old Levi, the scrawny, strong-willed younger brother of Timothy (narrator of House Arrest), here relates his story. Levi tries to balance relationships with his overprotective brother and mother, unreliable dad, and only friend Tam with his attempt to become a boxer and be accepted into a boarding school. A knockout of a story, spiritedly told in verse and journal entries.
