About this audiobook

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.

    It was the day the blizzard started, and it didn't stop for nearly a week. No one had seen anything like it... it wasn't a storm; it was whatever comes after that.A great freezing cold read for the hottest days of summer! Scotty, Jason and Pete are three of the last seven kids waiting to be picked up at Tattawa Regional High School after school is let out early due to the storm. They've never seen it snow this hard... even the snowplows are getting stuck because it's coming down so fast. Mr. Gossell, the history teacher left to supervise the pickups, leaves to go get help when darkness falls, and never returns. The power goes out, the phone lines to the school are down, and the cell phone reception is gone as well... and it's getting colder. Scotty worries about missing basketball practice and the game, Pete wonders if the dance will still be held on Friday (and he can maybe get a date), Jason just wants to work down in the shop on his go-kart project, Kristy and Julie are figuring out how to stay warm... and then there's Les and Elijah. Les is the king of detention and suspension, and most likely to be arrested in his class. Of course, that helps when you need doors unlocked and you have no key. Elijah is the oddball, telling the truth even when no one wants to hear it. How long can this mismatched group survive on their own, in a monster storm that's quickly taking out every technological advantage they depend upon? Great survival fiction! Grade 7 and up.

    Wow, I mean WOW! This book was like riveting for me. I read it all in several hours, during a snow storm nonetheless. It was intense and thought provoking at the same time. I liked Scotty, the main character. He was a genuinely good guy. His insight into the people trapped with him was interesting as well. I did have a couple little nit picky things that I wasn't crazy about. I was talking to my son about this book and explaining that they didn't have a signal for cell service. He said, "Interesting because most schools are wired for Wi-Fi these days." I don't know a whole lot about the technical side of things but thought it interesting too that they couldn't get a signal out or anything at any time. The last thing was that I wasn't crazy about the loose ends left in the end. Of course, the author can end his book any way he wants. Despite my minor little issues, this book was awesome and one of my fav's so far this year. Great book to read in a raging snow storm. I'm giving this one 4 1/2 chilly kisses!

    I was expecting something a bit more suspenseful - it was recommended to me by a parent who heard about it from her child's teacher. She was so disappointed that we didn't carry it in our store that I thought it would have to be a fantastic book. Unfortunately, I didn't find it very suspenseful at all, nor did I care about the characters who had to band together to stay alive. We just didn't learn enough about them.

    What would you do if you were stuck inside your high school in a deadly snowstorm?This is the basic premise of Michael Northrup's Trapped, a fast-paced and gripping thriller about a group of seven high school students who are literally locked inside their school after several feet of snow are dumped on it. Seems like a pretty innocent and basic plot, but when you think about these mismatched group of teens trapped inside this school, you can imagine the fight for survival that ensues.I found the main character and the story's hero, Scotty, to be a pretty realistic teen boy. From the moment the snow starts to fall, he doubts the brilliance of the plan to stay at the school, even though his friends are intent on doing so. When all of the students but the group of seven are gone, Scotty seems to be the first to step into survival mode and is often the voice of reason and calm throughout the story.Even more than Scotty, I loved the suspense in this novel. I teach in an old high school (it's being renovated right now) and can just imagine the structural issues that would cause our school to come crashing down if this old building were asked to hold several feet of heavy snow. It wouldn't be long before our building collapsed. But, in Trapped, you never quite find out what ends up happening to all of the kids or the school building itself. I loved this. You know that not everyone made it out alive, which is alluded to in the first chapters of the book, but never know the true extent of the damage.This would be a great read for a reluctant teen reader, particularly male readers. It's short but not without a whole lot of "what would you do" questions. There are easy parallels between this book and others like Lord of the Flies, although this story is not too similar to be a snow-induced knockoff. A perfect read for a snowy day!

    The ending was terrible. I am only giving it two stars because I found a few parts of the book to be well written and interesting, the rest was not good. I didn't connect with the characters and found the story to be beyond belief. This one could and should have been much better.

    (I have an Advance Review copy)
    Trapped is a wonderfully suspenseful novel about a group of students stuck in their high school during a major snow storm. There's no "Breakfast Club" shtick, but there is a constant feeling of foreboding and some terrific action. Northrop sets the scene (scariest high school experience since Carrie, without the schlock) so well I had to keep looking out the window to remind myself we have a normal amount of snow ang the roads are fine.

    I first picked up 'Trapped' hoping it would provide a thrilling tale of survival against the elements ala 'Hatchet' or perhaps a study of social dynamics as in 'Lord of the Flies' or even 'The Breakfast Club'. Considering the setting the author chose (seven kids stranded in the mother of all snowstorms) it shouldn't have been difficult to come up with an engaging story. Unfortunately, that isn't the case. The story fails to deliver for three reasons. First is that Northrop failed to develop the characters enough that I could connect with them and care what happened to them. Little effort is made to develop their personalities or to get the reader in touch with their thoughts and fears. It would make sense that the students would be concerned about what their families are going through but hardly anyone mentions them at all. They all came off as two-dimensional and, as such, it was difficult to work up any concern for what happens to them. The second problem I have with the story is that I found a lot of what happens implausible. I don't have a problem the storm, mind you, although I doubt such a massive storm would have happened with no warning whatsoever. My concerns are with what the kids did or didn't do in their efforts to survive. In the story they burned 2x4s in a can to keep warm which seems unlikely as they never mentioned where they got the 2x4s or how they cut them up. It would have made more sense to light bunsen burners in the chemistry lab or acetylene torches in the shop to keep warm. If I were in such a situation I would have ransacked the lost-and-found and every room, desk drawer and closet trying to find extra clothing, cell phones, spare batteries, or anything else that might help keep them alive. Aside from some half-hearted searching on day one, though, very little is of that is done. Fortunately, though, they found a portable radio with a battery that never ran out, even though once they worry that it might. In the end, the author didn't put enough thought and effort into imagining what kids in that position would think about, worry about or do to stay alive. The biggest reason that I was disappointed in this book though is because of its total lack of suspense. With all the challenges facing these characters the author should have had no trouble making us really worry about what would happen but he never quite pulled it off. I'm sorry because I really wanted to like this book but I didn't and I can't recommend it.

    I...didn't hate it...but where's the ending?!

    It really was a fun read and I enjoyed the ride, but the sudden stop was not only unexpected, but was excruciatingly painful for me, hints the two-star rating. I hate giving such a low rating, but I read this in high school, so it's been a while, and it still frustrates me to think about.

    I loved the story, and the more I read, the more immersed I became, but yeah, that only makes hitting that last page all the more difficult...

    I'm a sucker for survival books. I seem to love them. I keep reading them, and I think I may learn a little from each one. Trapped is a worse scenario book. Seven teens are left in their high school when it was let out early due to blizzard conditions. The teens were all expecting a ride to come and get them, but the driving conditions did not support vehicle rescue. As they begin to realize that no one is coming for them, survival mode kicks in. They start to think and plan for a longer stay at the High School. It could be worse, they could have been stuck in a car with no way out and food. The teens are a mixture of teen society. Not all of them get along, but they do learn to have respect for each other. It was interesting to see the different dynamics clash and compliment each other. I enjoyed the book. I wish there could have been an epilogue to let us know what happened with all of the other kids, the teacher who left and was never heard from. Did all of the buses make it when they took students home? There are many unanswered questions. Leaving me not feeling quite complete at the end.

    I was cold while reading this, so cold I had to turn the heat on and get under some blankets myself. The book really sets the atmosphere completely. I like movies of disaster and survival. I've read a few books on those subjects, but not in a long time, and this really brought my love for them back. I do think the characters could of done more to help survive, and at times I felt like they kept doing the same thing, I kept waiting for something big to happen and it didn't. I also think the ending happen to quickly and wish there was more

    The first book all year that I can pick up and read obligation-free! It doesn't have to be dystopian or post-apocalyptic! So I plucked a book off the shelf, one I'd heard good things about. And it's about 7 teens trapped in their high school when a 4-day blizzard drops 18 feet of snow.

    Bring on the small-scale apocalypse, I guess.

    Short chapters and a brisk pace; I can see a lot of guy appeal and I'll be adding this to my next round of booktalks. But I wasn't blown away by it. Not sure what I was hoping for, exactly, just... more.

    Trapped follows the story of seven high school students trapped in their school during a blizzard. The story offers a medley of characters, each with very unique personalities. Some of these characters meshed well and others clashed. This led to moments of tension in an all ready tense situation. Trapped is a fast paced and intense read. It had no problem holding my interest, but the pacing was a little bit too fast for my taste. I still enjoyed the time I spent reading. I thought the author offered an excellent look at how the instinct to survive sets in when placed in a situation that is rapidly escalating out of control. Not a light read by any means. Parts were downright frightening. If you enjoy being scared, pick this up the next time you’re braving severe weather. I also wasn’t thrilled with the ending because it didn’t offer the extent of closure I desired after riding out the blizzard with these seven teens. Other than my minor complaints this was a pretty good book. I just needed a little more development of the characters to fully connect. I was definitely invested in the situation and outcome, but didn’t feel like I knew the characters as well as I would have liked.If you love an action driven read, than you’ll probably love Trapped. I think guys will especially dig it. Just the right amount of action, danger, and a male narrator to boot.

    When a snowstorm starts and the local high school closes early, seven students and one teacher are left behind when their parents don't come to pick them up. Little do they know, it will be days before the snow lets up. In the meantime, the snow piles up higher and higher outside the school walls. I really liked this. I thought it was quite suspenseful. It is simple writing, as it's a YA book, but I still really liked it. I thought a clever touch was the image of the snowflakes on the chapter pages. Being YA and not very long, it is a very quick read. I think it was also fitting to read it at this time of year, after all the snow I've seen this winter!

    The Good StuffWanted this book based on the cover alone -- wonderful cover gets you totally in the mood for the story and the graphic of the snow on each of the chapters really adds to the moodGreat messages about how looks can be deceiving and how people react during adverse conditionsGood strong male protagonistI think it would be an excellent book for reluctant male readersThe story was very well written and exciting and kept me from putting the book down - I read it in one sitting -- which is also why I was so disappointed by the endingGreat for reading during a snowstorm (not much of one, but it was the most we had gotten so far) sort of like reading The Stand when you have a coldHumour and language will definitely appeal to the male YA (or immature Library Techs like me)Setting was done so incredibly well you will find yourself freezing and looking out the window all the timeThe Not so Good StuffHated how the book just sort of ended - expected more. Won't lie this fact disappointed me and took away a little of my love for the storyAlso would have liked more development or background of some of the secondary charactersReally found it hard to believe that after a week there would be no mention of fact that 7 kids were missing even with the blizzard - just sayin. If my kid hadn't contacted me somehow I would be out in that blizzard trying to find himFavorite Quotes/Passages"When I was a kid, I had a little round cell phone with one button so that I could call my mom or she could call me. It had some embarrassing name, like Doodlebug, but it really should've been called Leash.""If I could've I would've asked him to put down the trumpet and pick up a snow shovel to clear off the roof for us but to step light when he did it. I didn't know a lot about angels, just what everyone knows plus what I'd learn the one year I went to Sunday School, but I knew they didn't do yard work.""We busted out laughing.

    Trapped is a high-quality survival story. I love man vs. nature stories and this one is no exception. Teenagers get stuck in school during a nor'easter that doesn't seem to be ending.The book is actually believable. Amazingly, not everyone makes it and there is no movie-like fictionalization which so often creeps in and ruins these types of books.Not recommended for readers younger than high school age.

    ***As originally posted on my blog Ticket to Anywhere***Trapped by Michael Northrop has been on my radar since I first heard about The Contemps Challenge. Growing up in New England I know just how crazy some of the storm systems can be and how quickly they can form. The weather men tend to be disliked because there really is no predicting just what will actually happen. Such is the case in Northrop's Trapped, the snow starts like most snows do, just a few flurries nothing to really worry about. But as with the Blizzard of 78 (and if you are from New England this is burned into your soul even if you weren't born yet) its not so much HOW a storm starts....or how innocent it may seem...its all about how FAST the snow comes down.In Trapped, like in the Blizzard of 78, the rate of snow falls faster than the plows can keep up. Vehicles then get stuck on the roads and the plows have an even more difficult time until there really just is nothing to do but bunker down and wait it out. A blizzard will blow itself out in a few hours, 12 at the most, and then you grab shovels and start to dig your way back to normal and wait for the next storm to hit and then repeat. Only in Trapped the snow doesn't stop. It just keeps falling in fat, heavy flakes that cover up single story homes as foot after foot piles up. Trapped is a short book and probably can be read in a single sitting, however, this book took me several to get through because ever time I picked it up it snowed. After getting 20+ inches the first time I picked it up and several more the next, well I just knew the book was cursed and it made me wary. *lol* Reading Trapped while its snowing probably isn't the best of ideas but I also can't recommend reading it any other way. The added realism to the story as you watch the snow falling outside your window just ups the creep factor and lets you know that its a story that could potentially happen and makes the reader wonder would THIS storm be like THAT storm in the book?The book is narrated by Scotty Weems who is a teenager who gets trapped in the school with 2 friends and 5 other random souls. Of all the kids that were trapped that day I think that Scotty was the best choice as he doesn't mince words, he just tells the story straight and to the point, exposing everyone's flaws...including his own. The kids are all different from one another and in the end its these differences that save them as they all bring different strengths and skills to this horrible situation. Where there things I would have done differently? Absolutely. But I am not them. I was not there. If I was, who knows what I might have done. I do know that I probably would have found a smaller, less windowy room to sleep in as a group. I do know that I would have been more worried about the roof than they were. All that snow, foot after foot after foot, piling up on the flat roof, weighing it down? Yeah....I'd have been so paranoid! But that would have been my father's fault and the stories of bad winters he'd tell when I'd ask why people were shoveling snow off a roof while driving places after a storm in the winter.Trapped was well written and with the main story itself I find few flaws but for me it ended way too soon. When I turned the last page was I confused and had many thoughts running through my head. What happened next? What happened to the kids? To their parents? To the town? I really would have loved this story to got one one more chapter to sum up the after affects of the storm. Because without that the story just feels unfinished. Like all this tension was built up but instead of a bang on release there is just this little poof and it left me unsatisfied as I expected more. You won't be wasting your time if you read this book and I really can't stress enough how one should read it while there is snow around because I just don't think it would have the same feel to it if read on a beach in the middle of July. I liked Trapped, I didn't love it, but I liked it and now I think I'm going to have to find where I stuck Norhtop's other book, Gentleman, and add it to my must read sooner rather than later section of Mt TBR. Really, that clone I ordered can come any day...That said, I must now go out and shovel off the additional 12 inches of snow that fell last night. off my balcony...I'm telling you this book is cursed and every time I touch it, it snows. *sighs* ***As originally posted on my blog Ticket to Anywhere***

    It looked like a normal snow storm when Scotty looked outside. That’s why he decided to stay in school a few hours more instead of taking the bus home, to help one of his friends finish a school project. A few hours later Scotty realizes that there’s 8 feet of snow outside and there’s no way of leaving the school. Now Scotty and 6 other students are trapped in school and they have to figure out how to survive without heat, power and water.When I started reading Trapped I was excited about it but when I finished reading it I was disappointed. The concept is original but to me it wasn’t properly developed. The author repeated himself too much and the plot didn’t move quickly. What I did like about the book was how the author described the storm and how being trapped really feels like. I liked how the characters grew close to each other and how they managed to survived.

    I was eager to read this book, but it just wasn't as good as I had hoped. The characters were only mildly interesting and Scott, our narrator just wasn't very good at telling his story. I think that Trapped had far more potential that it totally failed to live up to. One of my biggest criticisms is that a school apparently in the middle of nowhere only has a pay phone. I don't know about you, but in Michigan all our schools have land lines (which usually work during storms and during the early part of this book -- they should've worked, storm or not). Secondly, a teacher leaving the school to get help in the middle of a storm? Highly unlikely. I did think that some of the snow-related issues (like being unable to see out the windows and weight of the snow) were mostly realistic. But, man, even The Day After Tomorrow was better than this and they had a chase scene with weather. The worst part of the book, though, was the ending. We'd put up with all of Scott's ridiculous story telling abilities and then bam, suddenly it's over. I think we completely got short changed with this novel. I guess I just have higher standards when it comes to dystopian/disaster type books.

    Book BasicsTitle: TrappedAuthor: Michael NorthropPublished: January 1st 2011 by Scholastic PressFormat Read: Purchased HardcoverNumber of pages: 224Book Stats A Few of the Characters: •Scotty Weems – One of seven teenagers stuck inside Tattawa High School during a blizzard. The story is told from his perspective (There are a lot of “Zack Morris moments” when he directly addresses the reader). He is almost part of the “jock” crowd at school, as he is a sophomore, playing varsity basketball. •Pete and Jason – Scotty’s offbeat friends, who end trapped as well.•Julie and Krista – Two popular freshmen, who happen to be stranded with the boys.•Les – “Bad Boy” who has a reputation for trouble that ends up as one of the seven.•Elijah – A loner who is known for hanging around in the library, but proves to be helpful throughout the ordeal.Summary From Goodreads: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....What made me keep turning the page?•The constant insinuations from Scotty that something bad was going to happen•The author’s ability to make me feel like I was there•The underdog effect that made me admire Scotty and his friendsAny complaints?•I was hoping the various cliques would form stronger relationships•I wanted more from the endingFinal Thoughts…I did enjoy this book. It made me think about how dangerous snow can be. I always liked to get snowed in, but not to this extent! As I read this book, I really appreciated the warm blanket I was under, and the hot coffee I was drinking! I was hoping for a little more when it came to emotions presented in this book. I would have liked to have seen stronger bonds formed. I wanted to get to know the other characters a little more throughout the story, and hear what it was like from the other character’s point of view. All in all, this was a good, quick read, which kept me on the edge of my seat.

    Northrup's wholly plausible tale of a group of teenagers stranded in their high school when the largest blizzard in North American history takes place is wholly plausible, and as a result, a real intense read.

    The sometimes dispassionate voice of narrator Scotty adds to the gravity of the situation, as though he is relating the harrowing experience for the umpteenth time, and reluctantly.

    Recommended!

    This book is based on an outlandish premise: a days-long blizzard literally buries a town, dumping dozens of feet of snow and trapping everyone where they happened to be when it started. In this case, it traps seven kids and a teacher in the high school. Cell phones and land lines aren’t working, vehicles (not even plows) can get through, and it isn’t long before the power is also gone.What this book really comes down to one question: What would you do to survive? Because these are teens (and young teens at that), different factors come in to play than those that would if they were adults. Will the usual cliques remain? Who, if anyone, is in charge? What are the consequences of breaking the rules? How do they eat, stay warm, and even use the bathroom? These kids have to use every last bit of their ingenuity to survive; not all of them do.Despite the fact that I struggled with the enormity of the snowstorm (even growing up in Maine, I couldn’t picture that much snow), I enjoyed this story. My only problem with it was the ending. We get a resolution to the immediate problem, but there is no aftermath. I wanted to know what the ramifications of the storm were outside of the school.This is a good book for those days when it snows and you wonder if it will ever stop.

    Seven students get left at a high school waiting for their rides home, even though a blizzard as started and the school closes early. If you can suspend your disbelief that students would get left in a building without any adults (there IS an adult, but he goes for help early in the story), then Trapped is an enjoyable read. There were a couple scenes that I didn't see coming, and that always makes a book enjoyable for me. The only thing that would make this book better, would be if somehow it was possible to guarantee that while you were reading it, a blizzard was raging outside.

    I decided to read Trapped during a snow storm. I'm not so sure that was such a wise decision. Everytime I would take a break from reading I would get up expecting snow to be up to the roof and afraid to get out from under my blanket. It would take me a minute to realize I wasn't in a snowed in, freezing school...lol.Being snowed in to the degree that these kids get snowed in is such a scary concept! I've been stuck in blizzards, but it's never been anything like that. There were times that I was so into the story that I wanted to scream ideas at the characters they could use to stay warm, like I would with a great movie. Ended up being that my ideas weren't as smart as what the teens would come up with...lol. These kids were quite resourseful, coming up with ideas I never would have thought of. Although, I don't care how stinky we would have been after a few days, I would have been cuddling up with anyone and everyone searching for some body heat!The only thing I didn't love about the book was the abrupt ending. I would have really enjoyed an extra chapter letting us know how it all ended up being. Whether their parents had survived while they were trapped in the school, things like that, but it still didn't take too much away from the book.Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It was a scary tale of what it takes to survive. The thought that it could actually happen to me has me hunting up flashlights, stocking up on food, and checking that I have propane and extra blankets everytime it snows!

    A snow storm closes school early, but seven students remain in the school. The storm does not let up, and the students must figure out a way to survive in a worsening storm that takes out the power, heat, and water. When the roof starts to collapse, the group must take drastic action to try to survive. Scotty tells the story of the group looking back on that fateful week.
