Lockdown by Walter Dean Myers


Reese has been sentencesd to 18 months in a juvenile facility named Progress for breaking the law one to many times. He would like to be relased early for good behavior, but things just keep happening, others keep trying to kill his friend Toon, he's being accused as being part of a bigger crime that took place two years ago and he feels that the warden's at the facility don't care about him and his family life sucks, with the exception of his little sister. As usual Myer's way with words strikes a chord with his readers, even though Reese has made poor decisions to end up where he is, you really feel that he is trying, so much so that you start rooting for him. I have never read anything by Walter DEan Myer's that wasn't good and this book was no exception.
