"The Factory" is a Red Maple 2026 nominee. This is a fast-paced, futuristic story where climate challenges have left many people in climate refugee camps. The main character, Asher, lives with his Nan. His mom is in his life, but she tends to be impulsive and isn't a stable figure. When she gets herself into big financial trouble with dangerous people, Asher's father suggests that Asher would be the perfect candidate for a top-secret experiment. The pay is more than enough to cover his mom's debts and improve life for his whole family. Asher doesn't want to go, but does as he sees no other way out for his mom. Asher soons makes friends at the research facility and they begin to unravel what is really happening there. I am not typically a fan of this genre, but found this story to be engaging. I enjoyed trying to figure out what was really happening at The Factory.
