(DLA Las Piñas HS LRC) September Book of the Month - The Scorch Trials

The second novel in James Dashner's dystopian sci-fi action thriller series is finally hitting the big screen this month! Were the Gladers "rescued"?? Who are the masked and armed men?? What is in the ruined city where the boys and Teresa were brought to?? Who is Paige and is she working for WCKD?? What exactly is "Phase Two"?? Will there be any more of those awful Grievers?? What's with Teresa and Thomas??

We all have these burning questions from the last film and it's high time we get answers for them, don't you think? Although books and the films they spurn usually have some changes that are necessarily made to make it more compact and smooth for a movie running time, there wasn't as much complaints for the first film so the same is expected for the sequel.

However... If you can't wait for September 18, why not hit the bookshelves at the High School Learning Resource Center and get your hands on the book before everybody else?? Maybe even borrow the very first book before this one to refresh your memory on what happened previously??

The Scorch Trials is definitely heavier than its predecessor. It was as if that just prepared you for greater things, or scenes, to come. If you thought that the first novel was scary, you'll be at the edge of your seats while reading this one. We're not going to spoil much but expect the unexpected.

This book starts exactly where the first book dropped off (the first film had a similar ending to the book, just that the book's ending explained a bit more than the first film's cliffhanger did).We're meeting some new characters to confuse us more on who's really bad and good. As our very own cliffhanger, all we can say is we hope you'll like the book as much as we did and as much as you'll probably enjoy the film!
