Alex Sawyer is convicted of a murder he didn't committ and sentenced to life without parole in the Furnace Penitentiary, the world's most secure prison for young offenders. He knows he has two choices: resign himself to death behind bars in darkness at the bottom of the world or find a way out. Together with other inmates--some innocent kids and some cold-blooded killers--Alex plans an escape. But as he starts to uncover the truth about the Furnace's deeper, darker purpose, Alex's actions grow ever more dangerous, and he must risk everything to expose this nightmare that is hidden from the eyes of the world.What SL teens are saying about the book...
"It pulls you along on a horrific journey while at the same time showing you that friendships can develop even in places where friendhsip isn't encouraged. The Furnace is described as a place that's worse than Hell, but the main character was able to find something precious, even if he makes choices that aren't the most moral. It shows that life has many facets."--Hanah K.
