Courageous and sobering. I found myself slowing down and rereading Whitehead's well-crafted sentences in this fictional account based on actual events, and the ending made it all worth it. Elwood Curtis was a boy who did everything right, yet he still ended up in the juvenile reformatory, Nickel Academy. He never gave up hope or his belief in the goodness in people.
