I Cant Remember the Name of This Book! Help?
Question by Ashlee: I cant remember the name of this book! Help?
I read a book in High School that I would like to read again, but I cant remember what the title was or even the author. It was about girl in high school, her step dad was a criminal in some way, I dont remember the details.. Anyway in the beginning of the book her step dad sets her up and she is sent to a jail/rehab of sorts.. I know my details are a little vague and probably not totally accurate.. Towards the end of the book she sets fire to the jail and escapes.. Does anybody have any idea what book I am thinking of??

Shock Point by April Henry
“Cassie discovers that her stepfather, Rick, a teen psychiatrist, has been illegally prescribing a new behavioral drug to his patients—and three teens have died. Before she can report him, Rick commits Cassie to Peaceful Cove, a boot camp for troubled teens in Mexico. Cassie knows she has to get out now, before more teens die. But no one has ever escaped from Peaceful Cove alive—and even if Cassie gets over the walls and survives the Mexican desert, will anyone believe her story?”
“The wicked stepmother motif is altered to wicked stepfather in this contemporary chiller. Cassie, 16, has suffered a year of upheavals: her parents’ divorce, her mother’s remarriage^B and new pregnancy, and the discovery that her stepfather’s psychiatric practice revolves around an experimental drug that may have led to the suicides of several of his teen patients. Leading off is a horrific scene of Cassie’s abduction, masterminded by her stepfather, who planted crystal meth in her room and arranged for her to be taken to a juvenile “rehabilitation” center. Organization is a strong point here. In the first part, Henry effectively shuttles between Cassie’s imprisonment and the discoveries that lead to it. In the second part, Cassie must free herself and obtain evidence to save other teens from the deadly drug–all but impossible tasks in the Dickensian atmosphere of the teen facility. Along with solid plotting and suspense comes a likable heroine who’s a good match for the nefarious adults in her life”
