(4) YA When Deet's beloved stepfather is arrested for drug possession, Deet is mortified. He gradually overcomes his anger and shame to visit the jail and learns that small-town prison life isn't as bad as he'd assumed. Set in Alaska, this slow, character-driven story has an unsubtle message ("Jail wasn't the end of the world"), but Hill tackles the subject with class.
