Eleven-year-old Perry was born and raised in a tiny Nebraska prison-but not because he committed a crime. Cell Block C is home to Perry, but when a new district attorney steps in, Perry is forced into the outside world for the very first time … and Perry feels more trapped than ever before.

Desperate to be reunited with his mom, Perry goes on a quest to learn the whole truth behind their Blue River story and to find a way to tell everyone what home means before he loses it forever.
