Lockdown

I have read Lockdown this year and it has a very interesting plot. Is starts with the main character Alex breaking in to a house to take some things while the owners are away. The police show up to the house and arrest him. When he was in court, it wasn't for stealing anything like someone his age would, but for being framed for killing his best friend. The people who set him up were actually from Furnace and they framed him because they needed more kid's to experiment in their secret mutation lab within the jail. Alex tries to break out of the jail with only one exit. And fails. While all of his inmates lost all hope, Alex found a way out. Everyday the children in furnace have to mine in the tunnels. Tunnel #2 has recently broken down so our character Alex snoops around and finds a way out... a hidden underground river. As soon as Alex jumps into the river with his friends the book ends.

Solitary

I have recently read the book Solitary (the sequel to Lockdown/the second book in the escape from furnace series). It was a weak follow up to the first book. I have read the whole series and the first is by far the most interesting and the best at keeping the reader on the edge of their seat. The second book isn't as good because the original escape from Furnace occurred in the first book and the rest of the series is about the main character Alex's adventure out of the underground prison's surrounding caves.
In Solitary the book starts with Alex leaping into a river completing his escape from the prison. The reason he wanted to escape was obvious but Alex's had a little extra fire fueling him. When he was in court, it wasn't for stealing anything like someone his age would, but for being framed for killing his best friend. The people who set him up were actually from Furnace and they framed him because they needed more kid's to experiment in their secret mutation lab within the jail. No wonder he wanted to get out of there.

Born to Rock

I have recently read Born to Rock by Gordon Korman. It is about a boy who has never met his biological father and sets out on a journey to find him. What he finds out though mid-adventure is that his father is the famous front man of the infamous punk rock band Purge... King Maggot! He travels with the band for their summer tour and tries to discover the real story of his birth.
Throughout the whole story I kept wondering what happens is King Maggot is not his real father? What will happen then? Will the search (And the story) just end in it's tracks? Where will he go from there? Will the search for the real father continue until he finds him?
I thought that King Maggot had the best attitude in the story because he accepted the fact that he might actually be the father of this kid and brought him along with the tour.
