Review

Teenagers are disappearing without a trace. Then one day, Preston's best friend, Alice disappears leaving a curious and very cryptic message. In his search along with another good friend, Mace, they stumble upon a underground prison for teens where they are transported to another realm indefinitely. Preston knows without a doubt that is where Alice is. But how do they get her out?

The story is an action packed, plot driven dystopian type novel that includes corrupt politicians and shady research facilities. The setting is in Britain so some words and terminology might be unfamiliar.

Recommended for grades 8-12. Fans of the "Maze Runner" and "Escape From Furnace" series will devour this.

Overall Book Score: excellent
