This week’s Waiting on Wednesday book is:
Title: Taken
Author: Erin Bowman
Release Date: April 16, 2013
There are no men in Claysoot. There are boys—but every one of them vanishes at midnight on his eighteenth birthday. The ground shakes, the wind howls, a blinding light descends…and he’s gone.
They call it the Heist.
Gray Weathersby’s eighteenth birthday is mere months away, and he’s prepared to meet his fate–until he finds a strange note from his mother and starts to question everything he’s been raised to accept: the Council leaders and their obvious secrets. The Heist itself. And what lies beyond the Wall that surrounds Claysoot–a structure that no one can cross and survive.
Climbing the Wall is suicide, but what comes after the Heist could be worse. Should he sit back and wait to be taken–or risk everything on the hope of the other side?
I want to read this because I’m not usually a fan of books told from the boy’s point of view, so I’m looking forward to reading this one to see if I like it. I hope it’s as good as it sounds!
Ooh, this one sounds absolutely fantastic! I don’t very often read books from the boy’s point of view, but I’m willing to give it a shot for a book that sounds so unique! Great pick! (:
