Scar Island

Scar Island plunges readers into a high-stakes survival adventure where twelve-year-old Jonathan Grisby and other 'troubled boys' are marooned on a remote island after a freak accident. Formerly a cruel reformatory, the island becomes a battleground for survival and leadership as the boys grapple with their newfound freedom, past guilts, and the island's mysterious sinking. This intense story explores themes of justice, bullying, teamwork, and the complex nature of good and evil within a group of children forced to rely on themselves. Parents should be aware of the dark tone and themes of peril, violence, and bullying, making it suitable for mature middle-grade readers.
