Sinopse
Todd and Tina Morgan were both there the night their mother died. They both saw their father kill her. But they can't agree on what actually happened. To Tina, their father is a murderer. Their mother was trying to defend herself. To Todd, their father is a protector. He saved Todd and Tina when their mother turned a knife on them.
Now their father is on the run. Todd and Tina are in separate foster placements. Todd knows there's only one way to clear his dad's name: Get Tina to change her story. Get her to tell the truth. But the truth may not be as simple as Todd thought. Whose story is right? And whose side should Todd really be on?
Resumo da Crítica
"Jones's new urban lit series, Locked Out, focuses on teens whose parents' crimes and incarceration have sent their children's lives into a downward spiral. Narrator Todd and his sister Tina witness their father stab their mother to death, but each attributes culpability to a different parent. Swept into the foster care system and separated from each other in advance of their father's trial, the pair has a few opportunities for covert communication, and her father pressures his son to convince Tina to change her interpretation of the tragedy in her father's favor.... [C]onstructed with plenty of dialogue, controlled vocabulary, and a chronological trajectory that allows less skilled readers to concentrate on content rather than structure. The riveting plots, however, will have appeal well beyond the reluctant reader set." (The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books)
