The One Safe Place
Summarized by: Andzelika Cetera
The One Safe Place is about a boy named Devin that lives on a farm with his grandfather. When his grandfather died, he moved to the big city because the job on the farm was to hard for one person. In the big city, nobody cared for the children. The children had to find their own food, water, and shelter. when he meets a girl named Kit (about his age), she invites him to her rooftop (where she lives) and gives him some food she stole. When he decides to steal some fresh bread from the baker, he gets caught, and the baker told him that that was the last piece of food he was ever going to see. But when a boy, a little older than him (named Roman) told the baker that he would buy the bread if he let Devin go. Outside of the baker, Roman asked Devin if he wanted to go to a wonderful place where he get everything he wants. Devin and Kit took the offer, and went there that night. When they finally arrived, a boy named Luke showed them their room, the pool, the farm, the soccer field, etc. Devin noticed something strange, all the kids were just sitting, doing nothing, and looking terrified. A few days later, he had to go to a building to take a shot, (the children call the building "The Place") when he took it, he felt different, it hurt whenever he moved a muscle. After a few weeks in the home, him, Kit, Luke, and a friend named Malloy, all figured out that whenever they visit "The Place" they switch minds with some old people and that they had to leave this home. The only problem was that they couldn't. The home had 12 posts and they had to find the key and the code (1 code to unlock 1 post). When Kit met with the owner of the home (the administrator), Kit secretly took the key and Devin found out all the codes for the posts. When they went to the administrators office, they were only able to unlock a few posts because the alarm in the office want off. Devin got on the ledge of the building to the rooftop, and met Roman. Roman told Devin which posts are unlocked.
All the kids in the home got out, and Devin decided that they would go to his farm and have a better life than they did before.
