mistree 's review for:
All Rise for the Honorable Perry T. Cook
by Leslie Connor
Top notch children's book for middle school readers. The main character, a very likeable eleven year old boy named Perry Cook has lived all of his life in a minimum security prison. His mom is an inmate there due to manslaughter. Perry has a number of close friends among the other inmates at the prison. We get to know them and their stories.
Perry's mom should be getting out soon on parole but the district attorney learns about how he has been living there all those years and puts that on pause while looking into it. He also moves Perry into his house. What helps is that his step-daughter is also Perry's best friend. Well, that is the situation Perry has to deal with. It is done with sensitivity and good sense.
