I love this little book so much. If a ridiculous apocalyptic horror comedy appeals to you on any level, you will love this, too. ( ) Extremely Entertaining!!! This was such a twisted and imaginative title. I had a blast reading this from the first page. Absolutely loved the characters and the crazy situation that Carlton threw them into. The title for this story was absolutely perfect. Seriously, if you haven't read a Carlton Mellick III book yet, you are totally missing out. I wish I owned every book this guy has written and I am working on that collection cause these titles are easily worth reading more than once. Hopefully, Hollywood will wake up and start adapting bizarro fiction titles to film. Mellick's titles would make such a fantastic film collection and I think the products/merchandise based off the books/movies would sell very well. Carlton Mellick has managed to write another really weird, and weirdly good book in this one. This is the story of Emily, a fifth grade girl who, along with the few remaining children from her school, has been sheltering in her school gymnasium until one day the sole remaining teacher takes the students to "Disneyland." Unfortunately, the amusement park is full of deadly booby traps , and the teacher is soon killed. Even worse, the children soon encounter a group of eight graders who are more interested in sending the younger kids ahead to set off any traps to increase their own chances of survival. in the end it makes for a compelling story about a young girl learning to do what it takes to survive without sacrificing her own humanity.

For almost 20 years, Carlton Mellick III has been writing some of the strangest and most compelling novels the bizarro fiction genre has to offer. Described as one of the top 40 science-fiction writers under the age of 40 by The Guardian and "one of the most original novelists working today" by extreme horror legend Edward Lee, Mellick returns with a quiet, apocalyptic tale of young unrequited love in a dying world. It's the last school trip young Emily will ever get to go on. Not because it's the end of the school year, but because the world is coming to an end. Teachers, parents, and other students have been slowly dying off over the past several months, killed in mysterious traps that have been appearing across the countryside. Nobody knows where the traps come from or who put them there, but they seem to be designed to exterminate the entirety of the human race. Emily thought it was going to be an ordinary trip to the local amusement park, but what was supposed to be a normal afternoon of bumper cars and roller coasters has turned into a fight for survival after their teacher is horrifically killed in front of them, leaving the small children to fend for themselves in a life or death game of mouse and mouse trap. There appears to be a hope for salvation when eighth grader Clyde Donner, a boy Emily has had a crush on ever since she was a little girl, enters their lives and promises that all the children will be safe as long as they do exactly as he says. But when it appears that Clyde does not have everyone's best interests in mind, it's up to Emily to put her feelings aside in order to ensure the safety of those younger and more vulnerable than her. Mouse Trap is an intense, suspense-filled thrill ride for fans of Mellick's more disturbing YA stories such as Sweet Story, Quicksand House, and The Terrible Thing That Happens.
