Scorch Trials by James Dashner


So I read the first, and now I have just completed the second--this for the heavy duty survivalist readers, If the griever's were not enough in the mazerunners, we have Cranks and other creatures to get through to end the experiement.  Is there an end to the experiment itself?  The author describes the book with bits of terror sprinkled through out.  I think it's somewhere between "sprinkle" and a "down pour" of terror.

I really need another Spring Break to relax--For those who like the Hunger Games series, and other survival type books, this one is for you.

To the students who like to have a little "blood and guts" you will also enjoy this book--

For those who want one more book--Yes, there is another book. 

My question.  How much more can they take?

Don't forget to check out the author site for book trailers, a game, and blog.

So according to my Shelfari (The bookshelf on the side of the blog)

If you enjoy reading, and would like to keep track of what you read, Shelfari has done a great job for me.  What I found recently, is that it tells you how many books you read last year--and let's you know if you are ahead or behind for this year.
Well my Shelfari only has the teen and young adult books that I read (ocassionally I fit in an adult book or two).  Anyway I had read 32 books last year.  For this year 3.  Now you can do the math--how many books did I read a month last year, and how many books will I need to read by March 31st, to catch up for this year??
If you are a student at Hardin Middle School--stop by the library, and let me know the answer.  If you are right, I'll have a small prize!  I'll let you round up on the answer.

Maze Runner by James Dasner

How would you feel if you were added to a new community, and not by choice.  Your memory has been erased, yet there is something there in your mind...How would you like to have the ability to talk to a friend through telepathy.
This is an action packed story that will keep you going.  The best part (maybe for some) is that it leads right into a sequel.
Available in your school library.
