Description

Lost & Found by Obert Skye, the thrilling second installment of the Witherwood Reform School series, is an unforgettable story full of dark humor and adventure.
Tobias and Charlotte Eggers are not on vacation. Well, I suppose they are on a vacation from everything they once knew. Locked within the walls of Witherwood, high upon a mysterious mesa, they are still looking for a way out. There are distractions, however. The very ground is shaking, and the creatures that protect the school are revolting. When one of their only friends goes missing it leads to a devastating secret. But there is hope. There are other students who have clear minds and are also fighting to get out. Luckily for everyone, Tobias has a plan. It's a dangerous one, but if it works, it could forever change their fate and Witherwood's future.
Praise for Lost & Found:
“Readers who enjoy a bit of sarcasm with their adventure will eat this series up.” —School Library Journal
“Another suspenseful romp for kids who like dark humor.” —Kirkus Reviews
