cjeziorski 's review for:
All Rise for the Honorable Perry T. Cook
by Leslie Connor
This is the kind of book that makes me wonder where the author got her ideas. Perry is growing up in a prison; his mom is in for manslaughter. The warden is essential his foster parent, but she’s set up a room for him at the prison. He is surrounded by people who care about him. However, the DA finds out about his situation and removes him (and he lives with the DA, who is also the stepfather of his best friend).
For a school project, Perry has to write about what brought him to the area. He decides to write the stories of the prisoners. These are powerful, as you discover more about some of the people he grew up with. Small mistakes can have big consequences.
I don’t want to give away more, but I was in tears during the ending pages of this story. I wonder if it has the same effect on its intended audience.
