I enjoyed the suspense and would love to read about the Adventure through the Quag. I have read a lot of his other books and am quite fond of his stories and style.

SHE WILL NOT BREAK
Vega Jane was always told no one could leave the town of Wormwood. She was told there was nothing outside but a forest filled with danger and death. And she always believed it -- until the night she saw Quentin Herms run away.
Vega knows Quentin didn't just leave -- he was chased. And he left behind a trail of clues that point to a dark conspiracy at the heart of Wormwood. To follow the clues will attract the attention of influential people willing to kill to keep their secrets. If Vega wants to stay safe, she just needs to keep her head down and her mouth shut. There's only one problem -- Vega Jane never walks away from a fight.
Master storyteller David Baldacci introduces an unforgettable heroine who must think fast, hit hard, and defy all odds to uncover the truth.

I really really enjoyed this book, it was very unique compared to other books, in my opinion. There are many things going on including Vega finding a map, which makes her feel curious and wants to explore. But it costs her life to make things go her way. This was such a powerful book. It was adventurous, powerful, magical, and more. You could never put this book down, because it's making you want to read more and more about the chapter. This was a perfect read for the summer.
the finisher is a thrilling book.it takes place in wormwood..it all starts when Quentin Herms disappears.its also scary & unpredictable. i say you should read the finisher.

Vega Jane has never left the village of Wormwood. But this isn't unusual -- nobody has ever left the village of Wormwood. At least not until Quentin Herms vanishes into the unknown. Vega knows Quentin didn't just leave -- he was chased. And he's left behind a very dangerous trail of clues that only she can decode.The Quag is a dark forest filled with terrifying beasts and bloodthirsty Outliers. But just as deadly are the threats that exist within the walls of Wormwood. It is a place built on lies, where influential people are willing to kill to keep their secrets. Vega is determined to uncover the truth -- but the closer she gets, the more she risks her life.
Saying i loved this is an understatement! This book was full of action and humor. Vega Jane was amazing!! This book was very well written. I thought this book was a tiny bit like Percy Jackson, but in all it was a great book, and i would definitely recommend it!!!
Loved this book!!! I liked how it was an action book where the girl is the main character!
i haven't read it but i can say it's a very interesting book
Welcome to Wormwood: a place where curiosity is discouraged and no one has ever left. Until one girl, Vega Jane, discovers a map that suggests a mysterious world beyond the walls. A world with possibilities and creatures beyond her imagining. But she will be forced to fight for her freedom. And unravelling the truth may cost Vega her life.
This is a very good book once you get into it..My friend is now reading it. I told her about it, and she was sucked into it. Well, not literally...;)
