Do Not Pass Go

When Deetâ€™s father is arrested for drug use, Deet cannot believe it. His easygoing, loving father isnâ€™t an addict! But Dad was working two jobs to make more money and taking pills to stay awake during the night shift. And now heâ€™s in jail. Hurt, scared, and angry, Deet doesnâ€™t want to see his father in prison. But when Mom goes back to work and no longer has the time, Deet decides to start visiting his dad after school. Itâ€™s scary at first, but as he adjusts to the routine and learns more about the prisoners and their lives, Deet begins to realize that prison isnâ€™t necessarily the horrible, violent place of movies and nightmares.

Told from Deetâ€™s perspective, Do Not Pass Go sheds light on the tumultuous experience of having a parent in jail and gives insight into the everyday lives of prison inmates and the stories behind what brought them there.
