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?

First, I LOVE this cover. The colors, mirrored glass, and even the crazy upside-down tree totally appeal to me! After reading the synopsis of the book, I am even more excited. Although I am not too sure what a world without older men would be like (I imagine there would be a lot of cat fights going on….), I am definitely intrigued by it! I really can’t wait for Taken!!

What is your pick this week?
