"Prisoner 88" by Leah Pileggi is set in 1885 and revolves around an 11-year-old named Jake who is imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit. As the youngest inmate in a brutal Idaho prison, Jake struggles to navigate a harsh world filled with older, dangerous men. He befriends a fellow inmate, a gentle giant named Big Eddie, who helps him cope with the harsh realities of prison life. Through stories and his own resilience, Jake learns about survival, friendship, and moral courage as he seeks hope and a possibility for redemption beyond the prison walls.
