The name of the book that I read is Trapped and the author is Michael Northrop. The book is about these kids, Scott, Elijah, Les, Jason, Julie, and Pete all stayed after school. Where they go to school, Tattawa High School, is in the middle of pretty much nowhere. They all stay after school when a big snow storm is about to hit. They're trapped (hence the name of the book) in the school with a teacher. When the teacher leaves to go and get help, he never comes back. The kids are now on there own for survival.
What I liked about this book is the characters and how they all react differently to this situation. I like the idea of having kids taking care of themselves when they are in really big help. Like getting locked in the basement or locked out of the house or getting trapped in a house, in a snowstorm.
I made a connection to The Maze Runner, when they are all stuck in this one area (the school) where there are no adults, and the kids have to fend for themselves, until someone or until they find a way out.
I recommend this book to anyone who likes survival and adventure. Thirteen through fifteen years olds will be able to read this book. I give this book two stars because I felt like that there was stuff missing. Like arguments, maybe some more fights, the characters didn't really try to find a way out of the school, until it was later in the book. And it was kinda boring at some parts and it felt like it really slow at parts too. That's when you could tell the author was trying to make the reader not fall asleep because the main character (Scott) was talking or thinking or narrating the story. I didn't really like the story as much as I thought I was, but if you want to try it, go ahead. I'm just warning you that some parts may seem a bit boring.
