The Compound is a 2008 young adult novel by S. A. Bodeen. The book was first released on April 29, 2008 through Feiwel & Friends and centers upon a young boy who has been living in a compound for six years. Bodeen came up with the idea of including cannibalism in the novel after watching a television show where "a dinosaur fed a favorite offspring the bodies of its less fortunate brothers and sisters."
