Scar Island

Man, this was very interesting! I liked it a lot! Wow this was kinda deep for a MG read, is it YA too? The main character Jonathan (not to be confused with John, lol) is sent into this awful island school for delinquent boys. He has a horrible secret that keeps haunting him (I kinda guessed earlier on but still) and I'd say his PTSD and grief and guilt is soo real and very nicely handled. I liked his friendship with Colin and how even though Sebastian was being shi#*y he still didn't hate him and be mad at him. I liked his character and the ending... wow! I gotta say it was a light fast read! I read this for a Book Club and I'm glad I did, I'm impressed by how it sounds as a sort of classic and stuff. Also the books mentioned about islands and seas
