The story: Preston's best friend Alice has disappeared. Using clues from her notebook, he follows her trail to MIST, a secretive technology corporation development a "correctional system" for the government. Preston soon becomes The Valve's next victim, and if he and his friends don't act fast, every teen who's been jailed in this alternative reality is going to die. He's up against a powerful government minister and his scientific minions, and he's just a kid--and it's possible that no one will even notice they're all gone.

Liz's comments: Hand this one to fans of James Dashner's "Maze Runner" books, or Alexander Gordon Smith's "Escape From Furnace" series. Although "Lifers" isn't dystopian in the same way that these are, it will appeal to the same group of readers.
