In Japan, fourteen-year-old Jimmy Fincher adds another gift to the arsenal of weapons he can use in his mission to prevent the evil Stompers from destroying Earth, much to the dismay of the Bosu Zoku, agents of the Shadow Ka.
I have been reading this series to my 2nd grade class. They love it!! It is the only time during the day when I have every child's attention and not one of them is talking. They love the mystery, the action, and the characters. This 2nd book is written well and it shows that James Dashner only got better with every book he wrote. My class has insisted that I start reading book #3 as soon as we go back on track.
