Tentang eBook ini
With heart-pounding action and suspense, this young adult thriller delves into the dangerous world of a boot camp for troubled teens.
“Henry packs her first [young adult] novel with the quick action and suspense that will keep even reluctant readers turning the pages.”—School Library Journal
It was the rough hand over her mouth that convinced Cassie that what was happening was real.
Without warning, Cassie is thrown in the back of a van and shipped off to Peaceful Cove, a boot camp in Mexico for troubled teens. Her stepfather, Rick, has convinced Cassie’s mom that Cassie needs help and that Peaceful Cove is a wonderful place. But Cassie knows the real reason why Rick wants to get rid of her: Rick, a child psychiatrist, has been prescribing Socom, an experimental drug, to his teen patients. She knows Rick will make a lot of money if Socom is approved by the FDA. And she’s unearthed the fact that three of Rick’s patients have died after taking it. Now Cassie has discovered the truth about Peaceful Cove, too: it’s really a brutal prison, where the only way out is to make it to graduation. But by then, more kids could die.
Can Cassie escape and tell the world what she knows?
And even if she does, will anyone believe her?
