Witherwood reminds me a bit of Camp Green Lake from Holes, only even stranger. This book is the first in a series for kids. After they put tadpoles in the gravy which nearly choked their nanny, Martha, to death, Tobias and Charlotte's father dropped them off at the gate of Witherwood reform school, a very strange and unpleasant place to be. Scary creatures roam the grounds at night, guards sing in the hallways, and a creepy ugly guy has an unusual voice that convinces everyone to do what he says and be happy about it. I think kids may enjoy this book. It ends with a cliffhanger which should lead to more books. I received this book free to review from Netgalley.
