The second book in Alexander Gordon Smith's no-holds-barred teen series, where the terror has only just begun - now with the bestselling US cover. We thought we'd made it, we thought we were free. But we should have known there was no way out of Furnace. All we did was slip deeper into the guts of the prison: into solitary confinement, where the real nightmares live - the warden, the Wheezers, and something much, much worse. The clock's ticking. Because if we don't escape soon they will turn us into freaks - like them. Forever. In the darkness of the hole your worst nightmares come to life... Action-packed, gritty and gruesome - this is the perfect read for thrill-hungry teenagers.

In some ways this book was a disappointment after the high the first installment delivered. But in some ways ending it with an escape in the first book would have been shortchanging the reader. And so Solitary seems necessary. And solitary is by no means a bad book. It is a must for a prison novel and AGS ticks all the boxes but does not make being in the “hole” as scary as it should be. We spend way to less time with our friends in there but the rest of the plot moves at rocket speed. We meet new players and get to know some more about the old one. We say goodbyes to a few more and many of these are tear jerking. The writing remains strong as ever. Onwards!
