Growing up is always a challenge, but for 12-year-old Jeremy Stone, it's been particularly difficult since his best friend disappeared while shopping in a nearby mall years ago. Now his Grammy is suffering from a stroke, bedridden in a care center that, she says, has a demon in it. His divorced mother is overworked and overprotective and headed for a breakdown. And, of course, there's the abandoned asylum on the hill near Jeremy's home, the one that's said to be full of ghosts and all the things that frighten young men. But it's the Crazy House that holds all the answer to Teddy's disappearance and the salvation of everyone in his life, including himself.

There were no charges. There was no trial. There will be no escape. Seventeen-year-old Becca Greenfield was snatched from her small hometown. She was thrown into a maximum-security prison and put on Death Row with other kids her age.

Becca's only hope is that her twin sister will find her. That perfect little priss Cassie will stop following the rules and start breaking them before it's too late. Because her jailers made a mistake that could get them both killed: They took the wrong twin.
