<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>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. From the acclaimed author of "Gentlemen."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A chilling YA thriller from critically acclaimed author Michael Northrop.<p></p>The day the blizzard started, no one knew that it was going to keep snowing for a week. That for those in its path, it would become not just a matter of keeping warm, but of staying alive. . . .Scotty and his friends Pete and Jason are among the last seven kids at their high school waiting to get picked up that day, and they soon realize that no one is coming for them. Still, it doesn't seem so bad to spend the night at school, especially when distractingly hot Krista and Julie are sleeping just down the hall. But then the power goes out, then the heat. The pipes freeze, and the roof shudders. As the days add up, the snow piles higher, and the empty halls grow colder and darker, the mounting pressure forces a devastating decision. . . .<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Praise for TRAPPEDCompelling...Michael Northrop deftly describes teens who are tested by the endless snow. -USA TODAYA gripping disaster story...Northrop's solid storytelling should keep readers rapt. -PUBLISHERS WEEKLYAn edge-of-your-seat experience...Just as he did in GENTLEMEN, Northrop gets at the core of human nature through masterful pacing. -KIRKUS REVIEWSPraise for GENTLEMENNorthrop's first novel is creepy, yet it has what can pass for a happy - or at least satisfying - ending. -THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEWA riveting thriller...This is a rare sort of book that may work just as well for reluctant readers as it will avid ones. -BOOKLIST<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Michael Northrop is the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of the middle-grade adventure series TombQuest.
