New Book Review: The Scorch Trials

By: James Dashner

Reviewed by Nadiya and Dejauna

This book is the second in a trilogy of ‘The Maze Runner’ books. It takes place after the end of the maze
runner when they escape into what is now the world. Plagued by disease and sun flares that have
destroyed our world, it is not what they expected after escaping the horrors of the maze WCKD has put
them through. WCKD (World in Catastrophe Kill Zone Department) has a plan for them but they don’t
know it yet. They are taken to what they think is a safe place but turns out to be another one of WCKD’s
experiments. Waking up to disease crazy people banging on your window is not the best situation. And
it gets worse when they are given the news that this is just another one of WCKD’s experiments and
they are the test subjects. Their long journey continues on a trip of loss, heartbreak, betrayal and danger
as realize the world they were so excited to see is not what they expected.

The Eye of Minds is A Young Adult, Dystopian, Sci-fi Book About A Group Of Friends Going On An Adventure To Stop An internet Terrorist In A Game Called The Virtnet. This Book Is A Part Of A Duology With The Second Book Being The Rule Of Thoughts.

Starters

By Lissa Price

Reviewed by Tiffany

Starters is a young adult duology book that connects with another book called "Enders". Starters is about a young girl named Callie who lost her parents in a war at a very young age. Now she has to sell her body to the Enders so she can buy her brother Tyler and her best friend Micheal a proper house and proper food for them to eat. If you're wondering what are Enders and Starters well, Starters are people who sell they're body to Enders to earn money and Enders are elderly people 60 years and older, who rent a Starter's body for a week so they can feel young again and do the things they could not do in their older body. I rate this book 4/5 stars. It was a amazing book, but it didn't impress me that much. If you want to see or read this book, it's in the Elmbank Junior Middle Academy Library so go check it out. Enjoy reading.
