Based on the section “Week 1,” what can you conclude about the protagonist Timothy so far?  Support your response with textual evidence.   

2. Timothy says about José, “He just doesn’t even know” (page 60).  This is a refrain throughout the book.  Discuss who else Timothy accuses of “not knowing.”  What does he think each of these characters misunderstands about his life?  Based on textual evidence, do you think this is a fair assessment? 

3. Compare José’s family and house to Timothy’s.  What do you think Timothy feels about José’s family?  How does he feel when he is at José’s house?  What role does José and his family play in Timothy’s life?

4. Given the incidents at the end of the book, do you think Timothy changed, or developed, through the course of the book.  Use textual evidence to support your answer. 

5. Brainstorm a list of the many acts of generosity throughout this novel.  Which would you say was the most generous gift of all?

Bonus: Summer Reading Challenge Celebration ]]> 2020-05-06 20:40:54 UTC https://padlet.com/neuseregionallibraries/HouseArrest/wish/555887059 SETTING THE SCENE NeuseRegionalLibraries https://padlet.com/neuseregionallibraries/HouseArrest/wish/555887060 Timothy is on probation. It’s a strange word—something that happens to other kids, to delinquents, not to kids like him. And yet, he is under house arrest for the next year. He must check in weekly with a probation officer and a therapist, and keep a journal for an entire year. And mostly, he has to stay out of trouble. But when he must take drastic measures to help his struggling family, staying out of trouble proves more difficult than Timothy ever thought it would be. By turns touching and funny, and always original, House Arrest is a middle grade novel in verse about one boy’s path to redemption as he navigates life with a sick brother, a grieving mother, and one tough probation officer. ]]> 2020-05-06 20:40:54 UTC https://padlet.com/neuseregionallibraries/HouseArrest/wish/555887060 THE AUTHOR NeuseRegionalLibraries https://padlet.com/neuseregionallibraries/HouseArrest/wish/555887061 Kari Anne Holt is the award-winning author of many middle grade novels in verse including the #ownvoices Redwood & Ponytail (Chronicle, 2019),  Knockout, House Arrest, and Rhyme Schemer.
