5 kids, and one chance to live. What these kids don't know, is that they have volunteered for their deaths, not the family holiday they were expecting.
5 children the ages of 12 were given a chance to have a 4-day boat holiday in their dream resort, for free. Only they would have to compete in the 'lost land' as told to be easy and fun. However what happens is totally unexpected and torturous. This 'lost land' was owned by a terrible man who has done horrific things. When they will enter, they must complete challenges and mysteries to finish, otherwise they will be killed. These innocent school children must fight for their survival, unprepared for the challenge. But their ambition and determination might just be enough to keep each other alive. Or will it?

The Other One
Former Amity member, James Wood has always attempted kindness, but failed consistently. Life for James has always been factored down what his test result will be, but when the aptitude test doesn't work on him, his future is limited to one thing only - death. I stand from where I sat on the train floor, and look out the open door of the cart. Below me, all the factions collide into a surge of different colors that form sort of a discolored mess. In general, the faction system has always seemed kind of pointless to me. Ever since I can remember, I always wondered why we were split up into different groups. I always wondered why we had to be five, instead of a whole. But pieces of the answer I look for have found there way to me. For example, I know now why I have these thoughts. Not because I am curious. Not because I am smart. Because I am divergent.Complete
