If you remember A Child Called It, this book is similar. It is very timely since recently written. It's a moving story for a reader of any age, and there's nothing to preclude it being read by middle school students on up. It shows other kids as well as adults helping Charlie, who has been locked up...
I found this on my library shelves when I was doing inventory. Glad I picked it up and read it because now I have something to give kids who finish A Child Called It and want something on those same lines! Full review to come.
