edit data

I picked this book up at a start-of-summer book giveaway at my school, and I chose it because its creepy illustrations and thin spine width seemed appropriate for my kids (elementary age). My kids sometimes like creepy stories, and this one follows a fifteen year old named Billy who is an apprentice at a prison.

I knew nothing else about these stories or the world the author created when I sat down
