Zach finished Isolation in a day. Then he handed it to someone else.

He said the story surprised him with how much it drew him in:

It wonderfully lands poignant messages while still being an intense ride of its own.

That is the whole point of the book. Isolation is about a city hidden from digital insanity, and twins who have to go outside it. The story does the work. The message lands without a lecture.

If you have been looking for a clean, tense read you can put in a young adult’s hands, start here.
