In Helen Frost’s Keesha’s House, the theme is teenagers trying to help each other through friendship. Until the part of the book I read (which is a little more than half), the 7 main teens are supporting each other to overcome tough situations. All of the teens have one big problem that holds them back from being able to stay home. They are problems like being pregnant, being betrayed by his father because he is gay, having both parents in jail, and many more.When Stephie, the pregnant girl went to the hospital, Jason the father/friend couldn’t decide to play an important home game or go see Stephie in the hospital. But Jason thought, “I had to be with Stephie” (62). This is showing that he cares for Stephie a lot because the home game was very important to him since his basketball team has never been champions for the last 10 years. If he won this, he can possibly get a scholarship into good colleges. In spite of this, he went to the hospital to see how Stephie and her baby is doing.Also, Keesha rendered lots of support to her friends. She provides them shelter for the night which to them, a must because they need to eat and do their homework.This is the reason why the book is called, Keesha’s House.
