For the first fifty pages of this book, I wasn't quite sold on Monument 14. Difficult-to-believe natural disaster! Dead children! Fourteen kids, ranging in age from five to seventeen, trapped in a mega-Walmart-type place!
Then I started to get to know the characters. Particularly Ulysses. The characters kind of creep up on you amidst the drama of various disastrous events, but they are what makes the book. Dean, the narrator, is a typical teenage boy: kind of confused, funny, awkward, More...

Sinopsis en Español:
Catorce niños. Un supermercado. Muchas cosas que van mal.
Una enorme tienda no es el peor lugar para ser abandonado. Hay agua y comida, ropa de cama y libros. Pero ¿Y si no es seguro salir? Emmy Laybourne nos ha cautivado desde el primer momento con su debut completamente ágil y fresco.
Seis chicos de secundaria (algunos populares, otros no), dos estudiantes de octavo grado (y uno es un genio tecnologíco), y seis niños pequeños son atrapados

My Thoughts
Fourteen children are left to fend for themselves after a superstorm and the unleashing of a chemical weapon. They are alone, scared, and a little angry. What could go wrong?

Oh, this book's premise/description has me jumping up and down and clapping in delight. Mentally, mind you, if I was doing this in public I'd have been checked into the Psych ward a loooooong time ago. Got to keep the crazy hidden. Anyways, this books sounds like it could be awesome...but it could also, suck, like Trapped did. Yeah, remember that book? No? Good, because it SUCKED.

The premise of this books - a bus full of kids and teens on their way to school who are suddenly stranded in a type of Mega-Walmart - is what sucked me in, and the ensuing survival story kept me hooked. I didn't find the characters all that appealing, but the story made it a worthwhile read just the same.

The world seems to be on the verge of collapse and 14 kids are stuck in what is basically a Wal-Mart - it's a recipe for chaos and a really interesting book! Teens will race through this thrilling debut!

Good to know I'm not the only one that pictures this exact scenario everytime I go to the superstore.

My first thought upon completion: There had better be a sequel!
