Scar Island by Dan Gemeinhart

3.0

I can appreciate that this is a good book but don't love it... I am glad I read it so I can recommend it to readers who would enjoy this :) It's about a boy that gets shipped off to a reformatory school on an island. Think Alcatraz. It's basically about power and leadership and how it can create mob mentality and go to your heads. It's action packed and a sort of thriller that goes really quickly while still giving a lot of deep topics to think about.
Not super realistic, but the authors leans into it.
