Hilary H says:
Based on true events and featuring real villains and heroes of the Jim Crow South, this is a deeply horrifying book, but it's also really beautiful.
In the Jim Crow South, 12-year-old Robbie Stephens, Jr., who can see ghosts, is sent to The Reformatory where boys forced to work to remediate their so-called crimes have gone missing, while his sister Gloria rallies everyone in Florida to get him out before it's too late.

I'm a librarian who loves thrillers, romance, horror, slashers-- basically any book that makes my heart race and keeps me up all night reading. Find me outside of the library walking in the woods, working in the garden or trying out a new favorite restaurant.
