Again, another page turner.  Luke is given a chance to live life on the ‘outside’ but he must leave his family and everything that is familiar to him.  Through a set of circumstances, that I don’t want to give away if you haven’t read the first book, Luke receives a new identity and is sent to a boarding school.

What he endures there makes him wonder if his ‘freedom’ is really worth it.  But, as he goes through hardships on the outside, he builds character and learns more about the ’society’ in which he is now living.  He finds that everything is not always as it seems and you aren’t completely sure WHO you can and cannot trust.

The school he attends has no windows and that seems odd to him.  Other boys bully him and try to break him down.

In the end, he prevails, but at what cost?  Did he just trade one set of hardships for another?   Keep reading and you’ll find out!
