Synopsis
Benjamin arrives with his parents for a tour of Roaring Orchards, a therapeutic boarding school tucked away in upstate New York. Suddenly, his parents are gone and Benjamin learns that he is there to stay. 16 years old, a two-time failed suicide attempter, Benjamin must navigate his way through a new world of morning meds, popped privileges, """"candour meetings"""" and cartoon brunches - all run by adults who themselves have yet to really come of age. More and more, Benjamin thinks about running away - but he needs to know just who he would be leaving behind.

Review
Josefson writes with a similar ironic detachment to Orwell's parable, but there's no sense of authorial omniscience, just precise, detailed descriptions. ----Publishers Weekly
Josefson writes vigorously and is well attuned to the upheavals experienced by adolescents. ----Kirkus Reviews
