Early dismissal! You could practically hear the cheers and high fives as the announcement blared over Tattawa Regional High School's intercom. The winter storm wasn't going away, and the snow was falling quickly. Despite that, sophomores Scotty, Pete, and Jason decide to stick around for a little while and work on the go-kart Jason had been building in the school's shop.
Jason's dad would be there soon to pick them up, and he did have a four-wheel drive truck, after all....
At the time, the 3 friends didn't realize the winter storm was actually a blizzard - the worse blizzard ever to hit the United States.
The boys, along with four other high school students, found themselves stranded. Luckily one adult, Coach Gossell, did still remain in the building.
The remaining group began to feel hopeful when they saw lights - what appeared to be emergency lights - flashing beyond the school parking lot. Coach Gossell decided to weather the storm and let the emergency workers know they were still there - stranded inside the high school.
All of them quickly realized how serious the situation had become. Coach Gossell began slowly walking, battling the wind and the snow, before suddenly sinking waist deep. When he fought to move forward, Coach disappeared from their sight altogether - never to return to the school.
Now they only had each other. The beautiful, popular girl and her best friend, the intimidating school bully, the goth freak, and the jocks. The conditions will only worsen as they are left without water and heat....and the school roof begins to collapse. Will anyone ever come for them? Do they have what it takes to continue the fight for survival?
Trapped keeps the reader in suspense and is brief enough to hold the attention of even the most reluctant readers. I only wish the author had developed the story more because I wasn't ready for it to end!

ReplyDeleteTrapped was about a boy named Scotty. When he was at school it started snowing so much that school ended earlier. He stayed after school with his friends to work on a project. It started snowing so much that there was no way out. There was 6 other kids with him plus a teacher. The teacher, Gossell, left to get help but never came back. These kids go through many different problems to survive. They busted open doors to rooms to find food and materials they needed for survival. It was snowing so much then that they had to move up to the high schools second floor to stay warm. The pipes in the bathroom froze and they had to figure out other ways to use the restroom and stay warm. Help still wasn't coming. It was dark and cold so no one was happy. The roof started falling because of the heavy snow. Someone needed to get help fast! Pete got Jason's project which was a snowmobile and went to get help. HIs snowmobile flipped and he needed help. When Scotty got his walking in snow shoes he found out that Pete had died from being outside so long. Scotty then went to search for help. It became so cold that he thought he died. When he awoke he was in a helicopter which he then reported the other 5 kids in the school. This book was very sad and I couldn't put it down until I finished it. I give it 5 stars.
ReplyDeleteTrappped was a pretty cool book. It had a good story line but it was not one of my favorites. If I were asked to rate it I would give it a 2 because it had no climax and you dont know what happens in the end. It did not move me (emotionally) and I probably wont read it again.
