Synopsis

Some kids in the sixties used to party in the tunnels under Shadyside High, until something left a bunch of people dead. But that's just a story, right? Besides, exploring the tunnels is more fun than being stuck in Saturday detention. Too bad there's no turning back--because in the tunnels there's no one around to hear your screams.

Is Trapped appropriate for my child?

Suitable for most readers 13 and up.

Teens trapped in tunnels beneath their school face deadly supernatural threats tied to a massacre from the 1960s. Expect moderate violence, teen peril, and deaths, but content is appropriate for the Fear Street YA horror brand.

What to know going in

This book has moderate violence, no sexual content, and mild language. Content notes include captivity, death, and mass death (see the full list above).

Who'll love this

Teens will be drawn to the claustrophobic terror of being trapped underground with something murderous hunting them.
