Really different from anything I've ever read before. Young adult dystopian novels are my thing for sure as most of my followers know. This is something completely different. Finally a story without a love interest, love triangle, or a pointless plot. This is the story of how Alex, a 14 year old mischief, gets himself thrown into the worst prison of all time. Furnace. This prison isn't for adults though it's only for juvenile delinquents that once they go down (literally) into furnace there's no coming back up. The thing is though that Alex like many other boys rotting away inside their cell were framed (not all though). They didn't even commit the murders they're accused of. They may be delinquents but not murders. The guards they're trapped with on the other hand are another story. 
 Alex witnesses so many terrible things in this story that he'll never forget. Kids getting eaten alive, fighting for their lives, and getting treated like they're the scum of the earth. Alex never gives up hope though and eventually Donovan, Alex's cellmate, together creates a plan to Escape From Furnace!
