Almost all the Furnace books are the same, Alex tries to escape from Furnace. All the books are really the best books ever, they are always putting you at the edge of your seat and this book is what picks you up after the first book's cliff hanger.

When thirteen-year-olds Aaron and Audrey meet at a wilderness camp in the desert, they think their quirks are enough to prevent them from ever having friends. But as they trek through the challenging and unforgiving landscape, they learn that they each have what it takes to make the other whole.

Very curious what the tasks are to rescue gramps and stay alive!

I love this book so much I would read it every day if I would

Wow. No words. This book though heavy on government and politics was easy to race through. I thoroughly cannot wait to read Book 5!

"School just got scarier!"- Sam Graves is Eerie Elementary's hall monitor. He has to wear an orange sash. On his first day as hall monitor, Sam Graves discovers that his school is alive and is hungry for kids! Only Sam can defeat the school, and his friends decide to help, too! The story ends like a normal book, but the middle was great! The book was very quick, but still enjoyable. The beginning was good but I think the rest is better. My favorite part is when Antonio's PB&J sandwich saves his friends.. The drawings are really good and probably took a while to work on! I would say it would take 40+ minutes to read this book. I loved how there was an illustration on every page. Jack Chabert and Sam Ricks published this book on June 24, 2014. Jack Chabert was once a hall monitor just like Sam, but his school was not alive. Today, Jack Chabert monitors the halls a different building: an apartment. Sam Ricks went to a haunted grade school, but just like Jack's school, it was not alive. He teaches illustration and design at an art institute. At the end of the book, Sam knew it would be a while before the school strikes again, so he has a lot of time to train himself before the school rises again! I think the book would be better if there was little minions that Sam had to fight, but even without them it is still an amazing book! I am looking forward to reading the second book of the Eerie Elementary series! I enjoyed this book and I give a 5/5. I recommend this book to anybody who thinks school is scary enough.

I love this book! It is exiting, heart warming, and full of mysterys!

One choice can transform you—or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves—and herself—while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love. Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable—and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships, Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so.

My daughter read this book. When I heard her crying from her bedroom I went to see what was the matter. As I calmed her down I started to read the last couple of chapters. The book was very engaging and the author does a great job of invoking emotion however this was my problem. The story describes a strong loving relationship about a boy and his dog "Searchlight" and goes to great length to pull you in to this relationship. With in an instant and right at the climactic point / end of the story "His heart bursts and he drops dead" WOW really he couldn't have broke a leg or pulled a muscle!?! The author is great and the story is well told. I'm not sure that young children should have to experience the devastation of death so harshly. I believe enjoyment of reading will promote more reading however not sure this book will leave the right impression on a young reader. I almost feel as it should have some sort of warning label or rating like " PG 13"
