Trapped ReviewScotty just wants to go home the Tuesday morning school is canceled due to the snow piling up outside. But his friends Jason and Pete convince him to stay a little longer to work in the shop, just until four o'clock when Jason's dad will pick them up. But the school slowly empties and the storm gets worse, and as the hours stretch into the evening, it becomes clear that no one is coming.

Sevens teens are stuck in the high school in the worst blizzard in a century, and no one knows that they're there. At first, it's not too bad--they have access to plenty of food and they can wait it out. But then the power and the heat go out, and the snow continues to pile higher and higher, compromising the building . The snow has them trapped inside, but even the building isn't safe anymore--will it be too late for Scotty and his friends?

Trapped is one of those gripping and chilling reads that will make you question just how likely you would be able to survive if thrust into the same situation. It's quite a spectacular story of survival, but it's very well-described, showing that Northrop really thought this situation through inside and out. His writing also shows that he really understands teens; the attitudes, the feelings, and the interactions are all done very well, and the emotions and tensions that everyone feels due to their entrapment and despair are all very realistic. Northrop also makes really good use of foreshadowing as Scotty alludes to some fatal consequences of the storm at the beginning of the story, making the book seem a bit foreboding before the snow even really begins to fall. The ending was powerful and abrupt, but it does leave you wondering about the fate of so many people, most of which aren't revealed, or are left up to the reader's imagination. This is a quick, unsettling read that will be easy to get into, but not so easy to leave once you've finished.Trapped Overview

Fair-Weather Friends (Good Girlz) ReviewFair-Weather Friends by Reshonda Tate Billingsley brings us back into the lives of Angel, Camille, Alexis and Jasmine. The Good Girlz, as they are known, have weathered many storms but their friendship has stood the test-of-time. Nothing could ever come between them or could it? The girls attend a school Step Show and are blown away by a performance, put on by The Thetas, a high school sorority. Immediately, Camille is convinced she wants to join and her focus is on getting the other girls interested. She knows that Alexis and Angel are shoo-ins. However, she assumes that Jasmine is going to take some convincing. Particularly bothersome to all of the girls is the fact that Tori, Jasmine's arch enemy, is the sorority's leader. After much convincing, all of the girls decide to give it a try and almost immediately problems start.
Jasmine has a confrontation with Tori and decides the sorority is not for her. Most surprisingly, Angel, the only Hispanic girl does not make the sorority for reasons not explained. All of the Good Girlz are surprised, considering Angel is the sweetest and most easygoing of the quartet. Angel immediately distances herself from the group. When it is discovered that the reason Angel was not accepted is because of her ethnicity, the friends and the whole school become involved. From that point the reader is introduced to a very real world of what happens when decisions are made based upon skin color and race. We are also allowed to see how hard it is for young people to make choices that are not necessarily popular ones. Ms. Billingsley does a wonderful job of giving us a full, realistic view of what can happen when friends feel betrayed and racism rears its ugly head. Fair-Weather Friends is recommended to all who enjoy entertaining, well-told stories, particularly teenagers.
