WESTWORLD meets CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY meets JURASSIC PARK, as kids win a chance to enter the place of their dreams -- and find that it quickly turns into a nightmare. It's all anyone talks about, and it's all Cody dreams about. It's the biggest adventure park in the world, and it's more than mere rides and rollercoasters: At ESCAPE, you can do anything you want, be anyone you want, and there are no adults to tell you no. Cody's a nobody, but for some reason he receives an invitation and the opportunity of a lifetime. At first, it's the most fun he's ever had. But after a few days, everything in the park starts to go haywire. One at a time, rides malfunction. Simulations turn deadly. His fantasy world glitches, and the games become races for survival. A voice comes over the intercoms, then-ESCAPE was never a theme park for the rich and famous. It was a place for punishment. They have less than a week to escape from the park before it floods. Only five kids will be allowed to leave. It started out as a fight to get to the coolest rides. Now, they have to fight to survive.

Mehso-so

Im always on the hunt for middle grade horror. While I liked the premise of this one - kind of a Charlie and The Chocolate Factory set in a deadly amusement park - there was too much chopping and changing of the scenarios the kids found themselves in to really hold my attention. I think the gamer crowd will enjoy it.

LibrarianRyan i love the cover. Sorry the book wasn't better. 2y
RebL Have you looked at Heather Kassner's books? Not horror, but pretty spooky! 2y
