SCAR ISLAND

Book ID/图书代码： 06684517C00066

English Summary/英文概要： Jonathan 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. Because Jonathan has done something terrible. And he’s willing to accept whatever punishment he has coming.

Just as he’s getting used to his new situation, however, a freak accident leaves the troubled boys of Slabhenge without any adult supervision. Suddenly the kids are free, with an entire island to themselves. But freedom brings unexpected danger. And if Jonathan can’t come to terms with the sins of his past and lead his new friends to safety... then every boy on the island is doomed.

Dan Gemeinhart’s most gripping novel yet, this is a tale of misfits and outcasts at odds and in peril, and a redemption story that shines a light on dark truths to reveal that the strongest prisons of all are the ones we build for ourselves.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： Jonathan Grisby是管教问题男孩的Slabhenge工读学校的新生。这所学校在海边的灰色石头城堡里，黑暗、潮湿、阴沉。但Jonathan觉得这才是他能呆的地方，因为他做了一些可怕的事情，而他也愿意承受任何惩罚。

就在他慢慢习惯新环境时，一个可怕的意外让Slabhenge的这群问题男孩们失去了成年人的看管。这些孩子忽然就获得了自由，整个岛都变成了他们的。但自由也带来了意想不到的危险。如果Jonathan无法摆脱过去的罪恶并带领他的新朋友们到达安全的地方……岛上的所有男孩都将面临厄运。

这是Dan Gemeinhart目前创作的最扣人心弦的小说，讲述了一个关于问题孩子遇到危险的故事，这个关于救赎的故事告诉大家，最坚固的牢笼其实是我们自己建造的。（LYR）
