The Cavendish Home for Boys and Girls
by Claire Legrand
This book. What was this book? This book was what I had expected Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children to be like. It was creepy and, frankly, disgusting. If I had read this in elementary school (junior fiction), I would have had nightmares for months!
The book, if you're interested, is about a perfect little town where kids often go missing and no one seems to notice. Victoria's only friend goes missing one day, and she starts to investigate. Turns out (*SPOILERS*) they go to the Cavendish home where they are abused and tortured into changing their bad habits. If they cannot "fix" their problem by their 13th birthday, they are mutilated and kept on as servants. Oh, and the children are fed pieces of human meat from the children who are mutilated.
Seriously? This should not be a children's book.
