The 5th Wave is the book we'll be discussing July 25 @ 7:00. "Remarkable, not-to-be-missed-under-any-circumstances."—Entertainment Weekly (Grade A)

The Passage meets Ender's Game in an epic new series from award-winning author Rick Yancey.

After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one.

Now, it's the dawn of The 5th Wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth's last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie's only hope for rescuing her brother--or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.

TEEN BOOK CLUB LAUNCH PARTY WITH Rick Yancey The 5th Wave SATURDAY, MAY 18 AT 2 PM We are thrilled to welcome YA superstar and Printz award winner Rick Yancey to discuss and sign his thrilling new novel The 5th Wave on Saturday, May 18 at 2 pm. "The first wave took out half a million people. The second wave put that to shame." Now humanity, or what's left of it, faces the oncoming of The 5th Wave and only one rule applies: Trust no one. 16-year old Cassie travels alone in the plague and war-ravaged remnants of her hometown, desperate to fulfill a promise made to her little brother. Along the way she must evade Them, the enemy who is all but indecipherable from other survivors. When she meets Evan Walker, Cassie must decide whether or not she can put her brother's fate--as well as her own-- in his hands. The 5th Wave is an exciting, thoughtful, brilliant read. This visit by Mr. Yancey will kick off Inkwood's brand new monthly Teen Book Club! Pizza and drinks will be served. "The 500-plus-page novel surges forward full throttle with an intense, alarming tone full of danger, deceit and a touch of romance. The plot flips back and forth with so much action and so many expert twists that readers will constantly question whom they can trust and whom they can’t. Best of all, everything feels totally real, and that makes it all the more riveting. Nothing short of amazing." – Kirkus , starred review "Yancey vividly portrays Cassie’s existential crisis in a broken world: how to live, why to live, what to believe in, and what to care about. As with other current dystopian novels, fans will read breathlessly to see if the potent mix of war, romance, and hope are enough to save a world." – Horn Book "Breath-takingly fast-paced and original, The 5th Wave is a reading tsunami that grabs hold and won't let go. A post-apocalpytic alien invasion story with a smart, vulnerable heroine in the center of it." – Melissa de la Cruz, New York Times bestselling author of the Blue Bloods series Rick Yancey is the author of several adult novels and the memoir Confessions of a Tax Collector. His first young-adult novel, The Extraordinary Adventures of Alfred Kropp, was a finalist for the Carnegie Medal. In 2010, his novel, The Monstrumologist, received a Michael L Printz Honor, and the sequel, The Curse of the Wendigo, was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. When he isn't writing or thinking about writing or traveling the country talking about writing, Rick is hanging out with his family.
