The book trailer for Alexandra Bracken's The Darkest Minds, the first novel in a suspenseful new trilogy, was revealed on EW's Shelf Life last week, but it has also recently popped up on Hyperion Teen's YouTube channel too!

I haven't had a chance to write my review for The Darkest Minds yet but when it's posted, it's only going to be filled with words of praise for the book! The novel may be 500 pages long, but I read it in one sitting because it was just too good to put down. It combines science fiction and post-apocalyptic elements to deliver one very awesome thriller. I would highly recommend picking up a copy to read this holiday season!

Enjoy the book trailer!

Summary (from Goodreads):

When Ruby woke up on her tenth birthday, something about her had changed. Something alarming enough to make her parents lock her in the garage and call the police. Something that gets her sent to Thurmond, a brutal government “rehabilitation camp.” She might have survived the mysterious disease that’s killed most of America’s children, but she and the others have emerged with something far worse: frightening abilities they cannot control.

Now sixteen, Ruby is one of the dangerous ones.

When the truth comes out, Ruby barely escapes Thurmond with her life. Now she’s on the run, desperate to find the one safe haven left for kids like her—East River. She joins a group of kids who escaped their own camp. Liam, their brave leader, is falling hard for Ruby. But no matter how much she aches for him, Ruby can’t risk getting close. Not after what happened to her parents.

When they arrive at East River, nothing is as it seems, least of all its mysterious leader. But there are other forces at work, people who will stop at nothing to use Ruby in their fight against the government. Ruby will be faced with a terrible choice, one that may mean giving up her only chance at a life worth living.
