It's Valentine's Day, and you know what that means! It means that I am featuring a thrilling, adrenaline pumping, pageturner of a boy book on the CGHS Library page. Girls, if it's romance you want, check out the romance display in the library. It will be up through the end of the week.
And now, an excerpt from Lockdown: Escape from Furnace (Beneath Heaven is Hell; Beneath Hell is Furnace).
"What's the most scared you've ever been? Maybe at night, after a horror film, lying under your blankets convinced there's a monster in the room. Or one day in the city when you were younger, realizing you've lost sight of your mom and dad. Perhaps face-to-face on the playground with someone who wants to beat the living crap out of you.
Multiply those feelings by a million and you get me on a dark, wet night, running as fast as I could on the slippery streets to escape the people who'd shot my best friend. I didn't know which direction I was heading in, I just needed to get as far away from that house as possible, and I ran until my legs felt like they were made of lead, until my lungs were on fire and my heart stuttered and stammered like it was about to give out."
