Reformed by Justin Weinberger - NO

Weinberger, Justin Reformed, 210 pages.  Scholastic Press, MARCH 2017.  $17.  

Ian, twelve, and his friends have been sent for six weeks at bully reform school. 

In order to enjoy this story, I have to be able to buy the premise that Ian and his friends are all rotten and that they did something that warrants six weeks in a reform school with older kids – but I don’t.  I can’t buy into the premise, so I didn’t enjoy the book.   This is the third book I have tried to read about reforming bullies this month – and not one of them has been worth the time.
NOT RECOMMENDED.
