Published: 2009 Furnace Penitentiary is a prison for kids that goes deep in the ground. It was built after the Summer of Slaughter. The Summer of Slaughter was a summer filled with murder when kids from gangs killed members of other gangs. Adults started to get scared of kids, so Furnace Penitentiary was built and kids who killed were sent there for life. Alex and his friend Toby are thieves. They have been stealing for awhile and have gotten pretty good at it. One night, they hit this really nice house. While they’re there, they get caught. These huge, mysterious men with silver eyes and a creepy man with an old rusty gas mask stop them. They kill Toby and frame Alex. Alex runs but he gets caught and sent to Furnace, charged with murder. It turns out that these huge men with silver eyes are guards at the Furnace. Living in Furnace is absolute torture. The guards don’t stop other prisoners from hurting people. When a siren sounds, everyone is expected to get back to their cells for lockdown. If you don’t make it in time, these terrifying dog-like creatures are set off on you, and you are killed. At night, the creepy men in gas masks come and take certain prisoners who are never seen again. There is no possible way to escape. Alex soon finds out that there are other kids like him who were framed by the guards. Why were they brought there? Is there really no way to escape the Furnace? This was a creepy book that kept me interested until the very end. I am definitely going to pick up the next one in the series. |
