Seventeen-year-old Jhalon is one of just sixty-one people on Earth with hyperthymesia, which means he remembers every day of his life with perfect clarity. He'd give anything not to. He just wants to live in the moment, graduate high school, and finally talk to the girl he's been crushing on for years. But when a split-second decision forces him to take the fall for a crime he didn't commit, everything changes. Expecting a short stint in juvie, Jhalon instead finds himself tried as an adult and sentenced to 25 years in a real prison. And before he can process what's happened, he's shipped to a secret government-run island controlled entirely by adult convicts. Surviving the island is hard enough. Choosing who to trust is even harder. But when Jhalon uncovers a deadly secret connecting the island to his brother's crime, he realizes the only way out is through. To save his brother and himself, Jhalon will have to rely on murderers, outwit gang leaders, and attempt the impossible: Escape Convict Island. Perfect for fans of fast-paced YA thrillers, dark secrets, and morally gray characters.
