(3) YA After the world floods, X Isle is supposed to be a refuge for the young men chosen to go there. Baz and Ray's delight over being picked quickly changes to horror when they realize that the island is a forced labor camp run by a madman. The characters are well realized, and issues of starvation, murder, and camaraderie heighten tension.
