Waiting on Wednesday 10/13

Hello, and welcome to my blog. While you are here please have a look around, and don't forget to stop by my Halloween Giveaway for a chance to win an autographed copy of Kelley Armstrong's The Summoning, and a copy of Clare B. Dunkle's House of Dead Maids. Also, if you are interested I'm going to continue my week of Rick Riordan reviews tonight with my review of Red Pyramid.

Now on to what you are all here for, this weeks Waiting on Wednesday.



Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine, where book bloggers share the books that they are waiting to be released.




This week I chose something a little different.  I like disaster movies and this seemed like a book based on the same idea: Trapped by Michael Northrop. The current release date for this book is either Jan, 1 2011 (according to Goodreads) or Feb, 1 2011 (according to Amazon).

From Goodreads: 
The Breakfast Club meets The Blizzard of the Century: A young adult suspense novel from PW Flying Start author Michael Northrop.

Scotty and his friends Pete and Tommy are among the last kids waiting to get picked up at their high school. The snow has been coming down for hours, and it's starting to look like no one is coming for them. As the snow piles higher, their teacher Mr. Gossell leaves them behind to seek help--and disappears into the drifts outside. Now the seven remaining students are on their own, with no food and no electricity, facing a night of sleeping on classroom floors. Will their friendships survive the 

 night . . . and will THEY?

From Amazon (since its a bit different): 

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....
