Sinister may be the operating word here as siblings Tobias
and Charlotte Eggers find themselves in a reform school called Witherwood. Witherwood seems like a bad dream that the
two plucky children can’t seem to escape from.
There are many dark forces at work, making the children’s stay seem more
like a run-in with the Twilight Zone.
Even though the school is creepy, the writing style is delightful and
the book sucks you in from the first.
Tobias and Charlotte are likeable characters though I will check my
gravy before eating it from now on. The
book, even by its own admission, does not end happily, and you will definitely
want to move on to book two to explore this story further. A fun and engaging
read.
