Title: The Scorch Trials Author: James Dashner Series: The Maze Runner (book 2) Publisher: Chicken House Ltd Release Date: 5 Jun. 2014 ISBN: 9781909489417 Synopsis Solving the Maze was supposed to be the end. No more puzzles. And no more running. Thomas was sure that escaping meant he would get his life back. But no one knew what sort of a life they were going back to... Burned and baked, the earth is a wasteland, its people driven mad by an infection known as the Flare. Instead of freedom, Thomas must face another trial. He must cross the Scorch to once again save himself and his friends. My Review I enjoyed Maze Runner overall but had a few reservations, but I was intrigued to find out more so started to read Scorch Trials. The Gladers are out of the maze, but it's not the comforting end they hoped for, instead the experiments continue, but on a much larger and more dangerous scale.

One area I've had trouble with at the library is book club attendance. We'll have teens show up one month, and then not be back the next. Since one of the main points of our book club is that we give teens books to keep, it's very hard on our budget to give out books, but get no return on the investment. So, I started thinking of ways I could get the teens to come every month, or almost every month at least.
Then it came to me! Last spring we as a book club went to see the Percy Jackson movie. The teens had a great time, and did ask to do something like that again. I decided that I would hand out punch cards to the teens in the book club. Every meeting they come to, they get a "punch" (or really more a date on the card). After 6 punches the teen earns the right to attend a movie outing with the library Teen Book Club.
We've just launched this plan today, and I am hoping that it works well. I really enjoyed the movie outing last time around, and I'd love to do something like it again. Now all I have to do is see what movies are coming out next spring that I'd be able to take my teens to.
I'll update later on the success (or possible failure) of my program.
