Summary of this Book... | ||
Madeleine Roux has a done a nice job with this short mystery/thriller about a young man entering a summer school for gifted students that was once an insane asylum. When 16 year old Dan Crawford meets some new people while taking classes there, he becomes curious about the asylum's history, and starts looking around, only to find out with some of his new friends that a a lot of terrible things happened there. A well crafted young adult novel, complete with actual photos from real psychiatric hospitals. | ||
