Trapped
Trapped | Michael Northrop
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. . . . Michael Northrop is the New York Times bestselling author of TombQuest, an epic book and game adventure series featuring the magic of ancient Egypt. He is also the author of Trapped, an Indie Next List Selection, and Plunked, a New York Public Library best book of the year and an NPR Backseat Book Club selection. An editor at Sports Illustrated Kids for many years, he now writes full-time from his home in New York City. Learn more at www.michaelnorthrop.net.

Think I pretty much finished this in 3 bouts. I really enjoyed it. Some sick twisted Canadian part of me likes the theme of being trapped in snow around the holidays, particularly so when there's no snow here and it's December!!
I feel a movie could be made off of this but they'd probably destroy the integrity by either cheesing it up too much or dramatizing it a la Sabrina/Riverdale style.
I was surprised (pleasantly) by the ending.

My #TrappedOnAnIsland results. Really disappointed about my two DNFs because I was excited about them, but they ended up not being what I expected. Mexican Gothic was really good! Unfortunately I didn't get to the other two books. @Lizpixie @aperfectmjk #Scarathlon2022 #TeamMonsterMash

A great idea for a YA book. Terrible execution. I only finished because I wanted to fill the space on my #BookSpinBingo card.

The book was not very exciting and the ending was awful. We wait the whole book to see if the kids get help and when they finally do it just cuts off without answering everything

Good read for a cold, snowy day. It was ok -- didn't live up to my expectations...especially the ending.

Let me just say one thing, I don't like the ending. It was too rushed and left me with too many answers at the end of the novel :(. But overall I liked this book I just need answers for the ending lol, it had a creepy feeling. #trapped
