In this tense, riveting novel, award-winning YA author Todd Strasser reveals what really goes on in highly secretive - and notoriously dangerous - boot camps, a stealth prison system where any teenager under the age of eighteen can be imprisoned at his parents' whim. It's incredibly risky - if he's caught, the consequences will be unthinkable - but it may be his only way out. Then he hears whispers of an escape plot. Beaten, humiliated, and stripped of his pride, Garrett's spirit is slowly ebbing away. He won't be allowed to leave until he's admitted his ""mistakes"" and conformed to Harmony Lake's standards of behavior. Subjected to brutal physical and psychological abuse, he tries to fight back, but the battle is futile. Maybe some kids deserve to be sent there, but Garrett knows he doesn't. Annotation: In the middle of the night Garrett is taken from his home to Harmony Lake, a boot camp for troubled teens.
