The clock is ticking . . . Andy and three other kids wake up in a locked room. The room has no windows, but it has a locked green door, with a countdown clock above it. They have less than an hour to figure out how to get out of this room. But when they do . . . There's another locked room, and more locked doors. And they can't go back. High concept, high stakes, high emotions - this story packs a punch and you won't be able to put it down. 'It feels like a video game wrapped in an escape room inside a book.' TRISTAN BANCKS, author of Scar Town
