Juvenile Justice
By Elijah Hernandez
When the Sweetwater Youth Complex is ambushed in a calculated, deadly attack, guards and residents are forced into an impossible choice-run, surrender... or stand together.
What begins as just another shift turns into a fight for survival as a mysterious strike team breaches the facility from within. But this story isn't just about the chaos. It's about what rises from it. The staff who refuse to abandon the kids. The youth who find courage when no one expects it. And the quiet moments of humanity that refuse to die, even in the darkest hour.
Told from multiple perspectives, Juvenile Justice is a tense and emotional young adult novel that explores solidarity, sacrifice, and the fight to be seen in a system that too often looks away.
Perfect for fans of Angie Thomas, Jason Reynolds, and Karen Hesse, this powerful debut offers a bold new voice and a haunting question:
What does justice mean when the system breaks?
