DescriptionJonathan Grisby is the newest arrival at the Slabhenge Reformatory School for Troubled Boys--an ancient, crumbling fortress of gray stone rising up from the ocean. It is dark, damp, and dismal. And it is just the place Jonathan figures he deserves. ReviewsPraise for Scar Island * "It's grotesque, compelling, over-the-top, yet fully realized . . . Children who respond to it well will read it over and over again." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review Praise for The Honest Truth A New York Times Editors' Choice selection An Amazon.com Best Book of the Month An Indie Next List selection *"An emotionally hard-hitting survival story... A gripping page-turner." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review "An impressive combination of suspenseful adventure thriller and cancer narrative... Touching but unsentimental, this is a deeply moving adventure." -- Booklist "Gemeinhart presents a rousingly riveting two-hanky read." -- Kirkus Reviews Praise for Some Kind of Courage *"This is true adventure with strong underpinnings of moral courage and love... Poignant and real." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review *"Exhilarating and enthralling, Courage promises even the most reluctant readers a breakneck adventure that will keep them turning the pages with utter devotion." -- Booklist, starred review "This is a terrific book, morally thoughtful and wonderfully well told, that 9- to 14-year-olds are likely to cover at a gallop." -- The Wall Street Journal |
