Taken (Taken #1)by Erin Bowman
expected publication April 16th 2013 by HarperTeen
There are no men in Claysoot. There are boys—but every one of them vanishes at midnight on his eighteenth birthday. The ground shakes, the wind howls, a blinding light descends...and he’s gone.Okay, first of all look at that epic cover! It is freaking GORGEOUS. A random kidnapping every time a boy turns 18? How eerie is that, I don't see how you can't want to know what's going on behind it all!
They call it the Heist.
Gray Weathersby’s eighteenth birthday is mere months away, and he’s prepared to meet his fate–until he finds a strange note from his mother and starts to question everything he’s been raised to accept: the Council leaders and their obvious secrets. The Heist itself. And what lies beyond the Wall that surrounds Claysoot–a structure that no one can cross and survive.
Climbing the Wall is suicide, but what comes after the Heist could be worse. Should he sit back and wait to be taken–or risk everything on the hope of the other side?

Kidnapping 18 year old boys gives me this shivers but it really intrigues me. Why boys? Girls are more weaker if you think stereotypically, so, again why boys?
