About the Author
Walter Sorrells, an Edgar Award-winning author, lives in Atlanta, Georgia.
From Booklist
Gr. 8-11. A remote institution for incorrigible boys; a director-warden with an ulterior motive; an odd assortment of boys who support one another. Well, this no Holes, but there's no getting away from the similarities. After being set up by his new stepfather, teenager Oswald Turner finds himself at Briarwood School, an institution in the middle of a Florida swamp, the only escape from which is by boat. His secretive roommates have found one, and after some hesitation, they include Oz in endeavors to rehab it and escape--a plan that becomes urgent after they discover that the wife of the school's ailing director is not only a sadist but also a thief. The narrative device--Oz's letters to his beloved father, who died----doesn't always work smoothly or allow much insight into secondary characters, and the villains are over-the-top vicious (with occasional rough language to match). But it's impossible not to be caught up by Oz's naivete or by his awkward struggle against truly wicked grown-ups, who mistakenly believe they have all the power. Stephanie Zvirin
