(2) YA Fourteen-year-old Nicholas Dane arrives at a school for wayward boys after his mother dies of a heroin overdose. A drugged-up headmaster, a pedophilic deputy head, a staff of sadistic monsters, and their tormented orphan prey make Nick's new home a living hell. Readers familiar with Nicholas Nickleby and Oliver Twist will find parallels here that will deepen their appreciation for Burgess's novel.
