Elwood’s only salvation is his friendship with fellow “delinquent” Turner, which deepens despite Turner’s conviction that Elwood is hopelessly naive, that the world is crooked, and that the only way to survive is to scheme and avoid trouble. As life at the Academy becomes ever more perilous, the tension between Elwood’s ideals and Turner’s skepticism leads to a decision whose repercussions will echo down the decades.\n\nBased on the real story of a reform school that operated for 111 years and warped the lives of thousands of children.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B07WGYLC28\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: HBSV.B07WGYLC28.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Colson Whitehead\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book  is in good condition and has some writing, underlining, and or highlighting inside.
