About the Book

Twelve-year-old Mitchell played a prank that led to an elderly woman's injury. Now he finds himself at the police station--his "sentence" is to chat online with a nursing home resident twice a week for the next month.

About the Author :
Jan Siebold's career as an author began when she attended a writing seminar at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. She has since written several books for children, including Doing Time Online and My Nights at the Improv. She lives in New York.

Review :
One young man's punishment becomes an elderly woman's hope in the confines of an Internet chatroom. This intriguing narrative thinks outside the box, and should inspire more experiments with programs like the one presented here...Siebold's dialogue--online and not--and first-person narrative furthers this coming-of-age story without extraneous judgments. It's a win-win story that would make Officer MacDougal proud.--Kirkus Reviews Siebold pushes beyond formula bibliotherapy here--not only because the computer chat is fun and easy to read but also because Mitch and Wootie are realistic characters, sharp and funny, assertive and needy...what's best here has nothing to do with bullies or computer chat: it's the background story, told by Mitch, of his home life with his widower dad, a beautifully drawn portrait of a nurturing single parent.--Booklist Siebold uses a simple diary format that includes Mitch's electronic conversations with his elderly friend to create an effective, contemporary novel dealing with everyday pressures that most students face. This is a book that will definitely appeal to a wide variety of readers...E-mail gives a current twist to the idea of making the punishment fit the crime; the current plot combined with skillful writing will attract even the most recalcitrant readers.--School Library Journal 2004-2005 Maude Hart Lovelace Book Award Master List 2004-2005 Charlie May Simon Children's Book Award Reading List 2004 Maryland Children's Book Award Master List 2003-2004 Sunshine State Young Reader's Award Master List 2004-2005 Volunteer State Book Award Master List 2004-2005 Iowa Children's Choice Award Master List 2005 Sequoyah Children's Book Award Master List 2005 Rebecca Caudill Young Readers' Book Award Master List 2003-2004 Great Stone Face Award Master List 2004-2005 Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Award Master List 2005 Sasquatch Reading Award Master List
