EDITORIAL REVIEW: ** A thrilling, high-concept fantasy for fans of Garth Nix and Nancy Farmer. ** *Incarceron* is a prison so vast that it contains not only cells, but also metal forests, dilapidated cities, and vast wilderness. Finn, a seventeen-year-old prisoner, has no memory of his childhood and is sure that he came from Outside Incarceron. Very few prisoners believe that there is an Outside, however, which makes escape seems impossible. And then Finn finds a crystal key that allows him to communicate with a girl named Claudia. She claims to live Outside- she is the daughter of the Warden of Incarceron, and doomed to an arranged marriage. Finn is determined to escape the prison, and Claudia believes she can help him. But they don't realize that there is more to Incarceron than meets the eye. Escape will take their greatest courage and cost more than they know. Views: 69

Wren has never disobeyed before, but she'll do whatever it takes to save Callum's life.The perfect soldier is done taking orders.Wren's captivating voice and unlikely romance with Callum will keep readers glued to the page in Amy Tintera's high-stakes alternate reality ideal for fans of The Hunger Games, Legend, and Divergent.Amazon.com ReviewIn this Amazon exclusive list, author Amy Tintera shares the popular TV shows that inspired Reboot.I learned so much about writing from watching television. I know that sounds a bit odd, but TV shows have to be well-plotted, fast-paced, and feature characters you love (or love to hate) in order to be successful. There are a few in particular that inspired Reboot and influenced my writing recently: Battlestar Galactica – This show asks you to think about what it means to be human. Are the Cylons lesser because they started out as a machine made by humans? How do we decide who has a soul and who has humanity?The Walking Dead – Over the course of the show, different characters question just how far gone the Walkers are. They still have some brain activity left, so as I watched I always wondered – how much of the person was actually left in there? Dexter – Is it ok to kill people if they’re bad? Where do we draw the line? Being inside the head of a man who loved to kill, who needed to kill in order to feel alive, is both fascinating and horrifying. Friday Night Lights - This show captures small-town Texas life perfectly, and featured some of the most complex, interesting character relationships on television. 5.Buffy the Vampire Slayer – There is a lot to be learned from watching any Joss Whedon show, but Buffy taught me how to set terrible choices for characters. Do you save the world or save your boyfriend? Do you let a loved one die or sacrifice yourself? The characters in Buffy often had to make the worst, most heart-wrenching choices, and it made for riveting television.Review“Fast paced and thrilling...I devoured this book!” (Veronica Rossi, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of UNDER THE NEVER SKY )“I don’t know what left me more breathless—the breakneck pace or the heart—stopping romance! I loved it!” (Sophie Jordan, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of FIRELIGHT )“A bone–breaking heroine fights for her life, her love, and what remains of her humanity in this fresh take on a world gone wrong.” (Lissa Price, international bestselling author of STARTERS )“Riveting, fast–paced, and full of heart—I simply couldn’t put it down.” (C. J. Redwine, author of DEFIANCE )“Compulsively readable...Superb concepts and plotting will hook readers from the start.” (Kirkus Reviews )“A fascinating premise, delivered in gory and glorious cinematic detail—and with a healthy dose of romance...The quick pace, familiar yet altered setting, and strong humanitarian message will draw Hunger Games fans.” (ALA Booklist ) Views: 69
