    "Real characters that make you laugh, twists that genuinely surprise, a plot that reveals itself perfectly. Another instant classic by one of my favorite authors."

    —James Dashner, bestselling author of the Maze Runner series

    From bestselling author Gordon Korman comes a thrilling new middle-grade trilogy about a group of kids living in a Pleasantville-type town who discover a dark secret that connects them to some of the greatest criminal masterminds of their time.

    Eli Frieden lives in the most boring town in the world: Serenity, New Mexico. Only thirty kids live in the idyllic town, where every lawn is perfectly manicured and everyone has a pool and a basketball hoop. Honesty and kindness are the backbone of the community. There is no crime in this utopia.

    Eli has never left town… Why would he ever want to? But everything changes the day he and his friend Randy bike to the edge of the city limits. Eli is suddenly struck with a paralyzing headache and collapses. Almost instantly, a crew of the Surety—or “Purple People Eaters”—as the kids call them—descend via helicopter. Eli awakens in the hospital, and the next day, Randy and his family are gone.

    As Eli convinces his friends Tori and Malik to help him investigate Randy’s disappearance, it becomes clear that nothing is as it seems in Serenity. As the clues mount to reveal a shocking discovery, the kids realize they can trust no one—least of all their own parents. So they hatch a plan for what could be the greatest breakout in history—but will they survive? And if they do, where do they go from there?

    "A fresh premise, good pacing, surprising twists, and engaging characters all combine to make this a series worth following."

    —Kirkus Reviews

    "The compelling, twisty mystery has a truly gratifying payoff, and the emotional depth of the characters, not to mention the steadily building pace, will keep readers engaged to the final page, which happily lays the groundwork for a sequel."

    —Booklist

    "This tense, fast-paced story will have readers racing toward the cliffhanger ending."

    —Publishers Weekly
