About this title

Review:

"Fresh and ferocious . . . will hook boys with its gritty, unrelenting surprises." --James Patterson on the Escape from Furnace series

"Furnace is hotter than hell and twice as much fun! Sign me up for a life sentence of Alexander Gordon Smith!" --Darren Shan, author of the Demonata series

"Uniquely horrifying." --Realms of Fantasy on the Escape from Furnace series

"Gritty action and compelling characters will have reluctant readers enthralled." --School Library Journal on the Escape from Furnace series

"Breathlessly paced and soaked with blood, mucus, and less savory substances . . . Readers who relish lurid imagery . . . will continue to be riveted and left eager for the next disgust-o-rama episode." --Booklist on the Escape from Furnace series

"My biggest success story last year was when a student, a 5th year senior, attended a booktalk and couldn't wait to read Lockdown. It was the first book he read all the way through in five years of high school. I was privileged to get the galley from a conference for Solitary and gave it to him. I told him to keep the book--in less than a week he returned it to me in pristine condition and wanted more." --Librarian, Washington High School, Sioux Falls, SD
