As a teacher-librarian, I have the opportunity to read young adult books to share with my students. The list that I have provided will have an overview of the book and personal comments. They are on a Book-mercial style image to get a taste of the essence of the book.

Incarceron by Catherine Fisher
This is a great book! There are two main stories that thread through this very clever story. Politics and technology defy this refreshing dystopian story. I couldn't put it down.
Finn wakes up in prison with a strange tattoo on his wrist and no memory. He learns to survive what ever the living prison throws his way in his quest to escape.
Claudia is The Warden's daughter, destined to marry the next heir to the thrown. She lives outside the prison and fights her own battle against the evil queen and her insipid son. All the while trying to outwit her cold, so very cold father, The Warden.
This is one compelling story. It was about a two day read. Just finished Sapphique, the sequel. Another two day read. Would have been one day but I thought I should go to work, which happens to be the best job ever as a Teacher-Librarian.
