Furnace Penitentiary is the world’s most secure prison for young offenders, buried a mile beneath the earth’s surface. Alex Sawyer is the “new fish.” Convicted of a murder he didn’t commit, sentenced to life without parole, he knows he has two choices: find a way out, or resign himself to death in the darkness at the bottom of the world. Except in Furnace, death is the least of his worries. The prison is a place of pure evil, where inhuman creatures in gas masks stalk the corridors at night, where giants in black suits drag screaming inmates into the shadows, where deformed beasts can be heard howling from the blood-drenched tunnels below. Escape is Alex’s only option. But it’s not just about saving his own skin. The more he discovers, the more he understands that he is going to have to do whatever it takes to expose this nightmare hidden from the eyes of the world. Fast-paced and full of shocks and terrors, Lockdown is the incredible first book in Alexander Gordon Smith’s Escape from Furnace series.

1930’s rural Australia. Baddar, ​a wild hearted 7 year old would tell you he is special​. As the blood grandchild of the last Afghan cameleer and his wife, Rose, an aboriginal woman, Baddar knew he was destined for more than his little town​. ​Bored of small town life and overwhelmed by childlike curiosity, his ancestors tales of tribesmen and cameleers is all he needs to fuel his imagination. Desperate to gain the respect of both his families, Baddar often finds himself conflicted on his identity. His struggle with his dual heritage appears to be just some of the reasoning behind his rebellious nature as he combats with the ideas of being identified as either a “Tribesman” or a “Cameleer”. As Baddar and his friends struggle to find their places in Willow Vale, their strive for adventure always lands them into tremendous trouble, which never pleases their fellow townsfolk. But, when trouble comes to Willow Vale in the form of a devastating bushfire that threatens to destroy their hometown, it’s the children of Willow Vale Rural School that may be the only ones who can save the town’s residence and find their places within the community.
