Publisher Description
In this heart-pounding thriller, the world’s #1 bestselling author has created a frightening new future: a world where teens are taken, imprisoned, and forced to fight for their survival.
In the United, the population is strictly regulated, disease has been eradicated, and crime is nonexistent. Seventeen-year-old Cassie has never stepped out of line. When she tries to tell people that her suddenly missing twin, Becca, is in trouble, no one believes Cassie because Becca was always causing trouble. Except Cassie knows the truth: Becca is the ninth kid to go missing this year. And none of them have come back.
Meanwhile, Becca wakes up in Crazy House, a maximum-security prison. All the prisoners are kids, like her. And death is the only way out. Her only hope is that perfect little Cassie starts breaking the rules to look for her ...
Crazy House is a non-stop thrill ride from the #1 bestselling author of Maximum Ride, Witch and Wizard, and Confessions of a Murder Suspect.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this boilerplate dystopian thriller, set in the not-too-distant future, twin sisters discover that their peaceful existence in a strictly regimented farming community is a lie and struggle to survive against overwhelming odds. When 17-year-old wild child Becca Greenfield is kidnapped and imprisoned in a terrifying, violent institution, her sister Cass is desperate to find out what happened. While Becca fights for her life, Cass enlists the aid of Nathaniel, the handsome son of her town's provost, who's part of an underground rebellion. As the sisters unravel the deadly secrets of the so-called crazy house, they're shocked by the part it plays in a larger conflict between world-controlling elites and the general population. While the premise is sound, Patterson and Charbonnet (the Witch & Wizard series) offer up a derivative story with predictable twists, fairly shallow characters, and revelations that won't surprise anyone familiar with the dystopian genre. The worst offense: when Becca casually reveals that she's pregnant after being raped by a teacher, has a miscarriage, and overcomes the traumas in record time. Ages 14 up.

if you love adventures, horror, shocking moments, and more, this book is for you! I read this book with having a little bit of interest in it, but after, I wish this was a book series! The book left me on cliff-hangers, that we're leaving me wanting more. So exited James Patterson is marketing a second book!!!
