(3) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Jonathan is sent to the Slabhenge Reformatory School for Troubled Boys--island-bound, with the feel of a nineteenth-century penal colony--for a crime he won't discuss. When a freak accident leaves all the adults dead, the boys turn their prison into a paradise until nature intervenes. A dash of Gothic atmosphere mixes with echoes of Holes and Lord of the Flies for a gripping read.
