Waiting on Wednesday #7: Taken




Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly feature created by Jill at Breaking the Spine. This is where you showcase an upcoming release you're anxiously awaiting!
This week, I'm waiting on:

Taken by Erin Bowman.


Expected Publication: April 16, 2013.
Publisher: HarperTeen.

Summary (from Erin's Website):

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?


The cover of this one first caught my attention, then I read the summary and I'm hooked! It reminds me a bit of a similar idea to Patrick Ness' Chaos Walking Trilogy, which I absolutely loved!

What are you waiting on this week?
