Incarceron
by Catherine Fisher
⭐️⭐️⭐️/5. This is an older dystopian, and one of our picks for my student book club this month. There were parts I liked and some that needed extra development. So basically, it’s a world that has chose to live like the past, and has created a prison that is alive and inescapable for I guess anyone they deem a criminal, but like people are born there and their matter is recycled into new people? It is told from two perspectives - the daughter of the warden of Incarceron, and a prisoner trying to escape. They find a key that allows them to communicate and she tries to help him escape, all while being betrothed to a horrible prince. I liked Claudia’s storyline better, and found it really difficult to picture this prison. I also felt like the use of technology was uneven. But of course, I got to the last page and had to borrow the sequel to see where this goes. So, points for that. Hand to readers in grades 6+.
