The Scorch Trials

The Scorch Trials by James Dashner is the second book of The Maze Runner Trilogy.

(Summary from inside flap)

Solving the maze was supposed to be the end. No more puzzles. No more variables. And no more running. Thomas was sure that escape meant he and the Gladers would get their lives back. but no one really knew what sort of life they were going back to.
In the Maze, life was easy. They had food, and shelter, and safety...until Teresa triggered the end. In the world outside the Maze, however, the end was triggered long ago.
Burned by sun flares and baked by a new brutal climate, the earth is a wasteland. Government has disintegrated--and with it, order--and now Cranks, people covered in festering wounds and driven to murderous insanity by the infectious disease known as the Flare, roam the crumbling cities hunting for their next victim...and meal.
The Gladers are far from done running. Instead of freedom, they find themselves faced with another trial. They must cross the Scorch, the most burned-out section of the world, and arrive at a safe haven in two weeks. And WICKED has made sure to adjust the variables and stack the odds against them.
Thomas can only wonder--does he hold the secret of freedom somewhere in his mind? Or will he forever be at the mercy of WICKED?

9/10 I really can't decide whether I liked this or The Maze Runner (which I forgot to do a review on...sorry!) better. They were both really really good. You never know what's going to happen next. James Dashner's writing is so unpredictable and keeps you wanting more.

Gimme a Call

Ok this is a very good book for all the girls out there! (boys would be bored and stop reading after the first page)

Devi Banks is a normal girl, who has just broken up with her boyfriend. she threw everything away for him (friends, a good relationship with her sister, and good grades) then, when she was wishing she could talk to her freshman self, her phone fell into the malls fountain!!! she wades in and takes it out, and turns the on button. nothing. she hits send. it calls a number. HER number. Devi is astounded, and a little bit excited as she thinks of all the mistakes she could fix by telling her younger self what to do!!! But will freshman devi believe her, or think its a prank? Does she get into a good college, get her friends back? Well, you gotta read it!!! I realize that was a bad summary, but i dont want to give anything away!!!! Its a little cheesey at the beggining with the magic part, but i think its worth waiting till a few chapters have passed :) i hope you enjoy this book!!!!

A Tale Dark and Grimm

hey this book i'm about to summarize is very disturbing. just a warning. Ok i haven't finished it, but i'm far enough.
these are the tales of Hansel and Grettel. but they arent toned down. fairy tales in a new perspective.

Ok so Hansel and Grettel have run away from home! They are royalty, but they felt unloved at the palace (because their dad cut off their heads and put them back on again) so they go to the candy house where the old lady tries to eat them. then they go to a nice home where the brothers are turned into 7 sparrows, so they go and find them to make the parents happy again (Grettel has to cut off a finger) and they go find a new home. they find the forest of life, and are happy! but Hansel keeps killing the animals, turns into a half wolf, and is killed by hunters. Little Grettel is all alone! she travels a little ways and finds a widows house. she takes her in and is happy!! Grettel develops a crush for an older man in the town. (I'm not gonna tell u the disturbing part there) and a couple of ravens from the beggining tell her that her family is cursed!!! thats as far as i am in the book, and if you like blood, gruesome events and funny commentary from the author, this book is for you! I do not like blood and gruesome events, but im still reading on. Why you may ask? HAHA i really dont know. Well bye!!!

come ON!!!

IT WILL MAKE YOU SMARTER (I think)
