Publisher Summary

For fans of The Hunger Games, Divergent, The Maze Runner, or Stranger Things who want to discover something new …”I have read hundreds of books and it is extremely rare for me to be surprised or give 5 stars. I almost always anticipate the plot twists. I thought I had this one all figured out from the very beginning. I couldn’t have been more wrong! An exhilarating, emotional, fast paced read that I couldn’t put down. This story was utterly unique.” - Justine, Book Catharsis ★★★★★EIGHT CHILDREN WERE KIDNAPPED.BUT WHY?Eight kids, ages nine to seventeen, awaken to find that almost everything they have ever known has been stolen from them.
