The Boy Who Knew Too Much

(4) 4-6 Munchem Academy series. When "Good Boy" Mattie Larimore steals a train to impress his bad-boy brother, Carter, he's shipped off to Carter's reform school, Munchem Academy, where bad kids disappear and reappear curiously transformed. As Mattie works to expose the headmaster's conspiracy, he finds a surprising sense of belonging. Some plot threads don't fully come together, but a Lemony Snicket–like narration ably propels the mystery.
