About this item

by Jay Wamsted (Author)

School is supposed to prepare you for the future.
This one prepares you for prison.

Ben Walker has one goal: survive school and win the scholarship that will take him away from Site 231.

Because at 231, students don't get detention.
They get sentences.

Public schools have merged with juvenile detention centers. Classrooms are locked. Armed guards patrol the halls. Every word is recorded by an AI system known only as the Algorithm.

Then a lockdown brings Ben face-to-face with Jazz Lewis.
Star of the junior class. Also a convicted criminal.

They call her the Lockdown Artist.

Jazz is planning something dangerous-a scheme to expose the Algorithm and everything the school is hiding. Getting involved could destroy Ben's future.

Or it could be his only chance to escape.

Because the more Ben learns, the clearer the truth becomes:
The best way to graduate from Site 231 is to start a revolution.

A gripping YA dystopian thriller perfect for fans of fast-paced, high-stakes rebellion and surveillance-state suspense.
