Who said Father knows best? In these times of high alerts and Homeland Security, the idea of a safe underground shelter is reassuring - or is it? Get ready to be creeped out by this deliciously shocking thriller, which features a father as twisted as as Jack Torrance in The Shining and as insane - yet magnetic - as Allie Fox in The Mosquito Coast. This family is so damaged, so traumatized...so trapped.
Fifteen-year-old Eli and his family have lived in the Compound for six years. Eli's father is a techno-visionary and billionaire. He has prepared for his family's survival in the event of a worldwide calamity. Eli never thought he would have to live in the Compound. But the world they knew is gone.
Eli's father built the Compound to keep them safe. Now, they can't get out.
He won't let them.
This debut thriller is perfect for teens who like their movies creepy and their books suspenseful.
