What this book is about
Dan Crawford's summer academic program is held at the Brookline Academy — formerly a home for the criminally insane. Old photographs in the restricted basement, each captioned with a face and a crime, seem to correspond to the students around him. Roux's YA horror is atmospheric and genuinely creepy.
