Lockdown
Lockdown | Walter Dean Myers
7 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
When I first got to Progress, it freaked me out to be locked in a room and unable to get out. But after a while, when you got to thinking about it, you knew nobody could get in, either. It seems as if the only progress that's going on at Progress juvenile facility is moving from juvy jail to real jail. Reese wants out early, but is he supposed to just sit back and let his friend Toon get jumped? Then Reese gets a second chance when he's picked for the work program at a senior citizens' home. He doesn't mean to keep messing up, but it's not so easy, at Progress or in life. One of the residents, Mr. Hooft, gives him a particularly hard time. If he can convince Mr. Hooft that he's a decent person, not a criminal, maybe he'll be able to convince himself. Acclaimed author Walter Dean Myers offers an honest story about finding a way to make it without getting lost in the shuffle.

First day back in work since Christmas was very weird with no children. Key worker children will be with us tomorrow. Nearly a year later and it all starts again 😢
Going to try and clear my mind and start my new book 📖

Made a list of jobs to do whilst we're being asked to stay indoors. Bottom one is the most important 🤣📚😍
I have made myself a daily timetable I know it's sad but I need to be busy so I don't go mad!!

JacqMac I did this, too. Mostly because my husband needs a schedule. lol 5y
suzie.reads @JacqMac It is good to keep yourself on track. My husband still has to work every night 😪 My school is on a rota so I'm not in yet and it looks like it will end up completely closing. 5y
JacqMac @suzie.reads Who would have thought it would be so hard to be home all day. It would be even harder if I had to send him off to work though. (edited) 5y

Mehso-so

This was so-so. It was definitely a quick read, but didn't grab my attention too tightly really.

. . . And seeing people walking around smiling made me feel good even if they weren't smiling at me. They were feeling good about themselves, and that's what I needed.
