Annotation: In the much-anticipated sequel to The 5th Wave, Cassie Sullivan and her comrades are hiding in an abandoned motel with a decision to make: do they wait for Evan Walker, or do they move before the winter comes? Tension is drawn tightly around the group as they argue over the choice, and the clock is ticking as the Others hunt for them.
 

Let's Talk!

Cassie Sullivan and her allies are hiding out in an abandoned motel with a decision to make: do they wait for Evan Walker, or do they move before winter comes – or before the Others find them? 


Excerpt: Pages 126-127


This book takes a little while to get going, but once it does, the action does not stop. It picks up right where The Fifth Wave left off, so it’s a good idea to have read that book before starting this one. We get to see back stories on characters that we didn’t know very well in the first book, and gather some more understanding about where they came from and why they are the way they are. We also get a better understanding of the Others – the alien race that wiped out humanity in a few sharp waves. But of course, we don’t get all our questions answered, and by the time you get to the end of the book you’ll be really excited that the third installment is due out so soon, because you’ll be dying for more!

Literary Awards: 
  • None... yet! 

"I loved the Fifth Wave, but I had a really hard time getting into this one. But once it picked up, it was just as good as the first one. Now I can't wait for the third one. Stupid cliffhangers!" - Khaya, age 13
