<p><b>“Fresh and ferocious, <i>Lockdown </i>will hook boys with its gritty, unrelenting surprises.” ―James Patterson, for<i> Lockdown</i> (Escape from Furnace Book 1)</b><br><b></b><br><b>Alex tried to escape.</b><br><b>He had a perfect plan.</b><br><b>He was almost free. Even felt the cool, clean air on his face.</b><br><b>Then the dogs came.</b><br><b>Now he's locked in a place so gruesome―so hellish―that escape doesn't even matter.</b><br><b>He just wants to survive.</b></p><p>Alex Sawyer and his mates should have known there was no way out of Furnace Penitentiary. </p><p>Their escape attempt only lands them deeper in the guts of this prison for young offenders, and then into solitary confinement. And that's where a whole new struggle begins--a struggle not to let the hellish conditions overwhelm them. </p><p>Because before another escape attempt is even possible, they must first survive the nightmare that now haunts their endless nights.</p><p><b>Praise for <i>Solitary</i>:</b></p><p>“Fast paced and packed with nail-biting scenarios . . . This is a dark story with a dark ending, but the gritty action and compelling characters will have reluctant readers enthralled.” ―<i>School Library Journal</i></p><p>“Once again, Smith has created a thrill ride that will leave the audience wanting more. Smith's prose is fast paced, witty, and sometimes downright terrifying. Some of the images he creates could manifest into a nightmare or two.
