Quick Summary
If you're into stories where a group of teens is fighting a shadowy organization, "Abandon" drops you right into a tense world where every friendship could be a trap. The main characters Jag, Zenn, Vi and the rest of the Resistance feel like real friends, and the mystery of who the traitor is keeps you turning pages faster than you can guess. It's got the kind of action that will get your heart racing, but there are also moments that make you think about loyalty and trust, which older middle-graders love. Parents should know that the book includes some mild sexual references and a fair amount of violence, so it's best for kids who are ready for that level of intensity think of it as a PG-13 read for the MG crowd. If you liked the conspiracy-filled action of "The Maze Runner" but want something a bit more character-driven, this one's a solid pick.
