LOCKDOWN
Walter Dean Myers
2010
Reese Anderson is in juvenile detention and has to try with all his might to fight his mischievous ways. He struggles throughout the book to do what is right by sticking up for a friend, setting a good example for his family, and keeping up with his work release program. He befriends an elderly man who shares his past and helps Reese see his way through Lockdown.
This book was interesting to me because I don't usually read stories of this subject matter. It was interesting the way the character struggles with himself as much as any other characters he comes in contact with throughout the story. His personal struggle is overwhelming, as well as fascinating, especially watching the character grow throughout the story. This is a story to make you believe in second chances.
