(3) YA This moving novel in verse takes the form of a court-mandated journal written by Timothy, a young teen whose baby brother requires around-the-clock care. Tim has been sentenced to "house arrest" because he stole a wallet to help his overwhelmed mom. Through interactions with his family, his probation officer, his therapist, and his friend José, Tim tackles his struggles with a mix of humor and pathos.
