![]() ![]() As in his first book, Michael Northrop does an excellent job of building tension. I was very impressed by Northrop’s debut novel, Gentlemen, and after reading the blurb and reviews for Trapped I had high hopes for his sophomore effort. It was refreshing to read a book with no clearly defined hero/heroine just a telling of the story with points of drama where they are needed. There are a few scenes which introduce some humor, and many details given to enthrall the reader and keep him/her moving along with the story. At first, the reader feels like the characters don’t give the situation its due worry, but as the characters develop, the reader realizes that the nonchalant attitude displayed by many of the teens trapped in the school are simply avoiding admitting the danger they face, even to themselves. Narrated by the main character, a boy who sees himself as a normal teen, this book takes us into the mindset of teens lost in a crisis. Summary: Seven high school students are stranded at their New England high school during a week-long blizzard that shuts down the power and heat, freezes the pipes, and leaves them wondering if they will survive. ![]() Allison’s Rating: 4/5 Stars Tracy’s Rating: 3/5 Stars Audience: Young Adult/Teen Genre: Realistic Fiction/Suspense ![]()
