Page to Post: The Finisher by David Baldacci

In the Page to Post series, the Teen Book Guild spotlights the books that caught our attention after scoping out an entire shelf of titles in the Winter Park Library. From that first spark of interest to how we really felt after reading, you’ll get our honest take—no sugarcoating, just real talk from teens who love books (or sometimes don’t!).
If you’re looking for your next great read or just want to see if our choice was worth it, stick around. Let’s dive into the world of stories, one shelf and one book at a time.



Title: The Finisher
Author: David Baldacci
Chosen by: Andres J.



If I had to pick a genre for this book:

Fantasy

Why I picked it:

Because the description of the book caught my attention

Brief synopsis (no spoilers!):

This story follows Vega Jane who lives in Wormwood, a village that no one has ever left before because of the Quag, a dangerous forest filled with dangerous creatures. No one is allowed to go into the Quag; however an incident occurs involving Vega’s mentor, who leaves her a mysterious message, making Vega question about the place where she is living. She starts to feel curious about what could be behind the Quag. What secrets does it hide and does she want to risk her life to answer those questions or stay safe and live without knowing what’s beyond?

Swoon Factor:

1 - "Totally Platonic"

No romance whatsoever—just good vibes, friendships, or action-packed storylines. Romance isn’t even on the radar.

Rating my choice:

4: "I’m Hooked!"

You can’t put it down. The book is exciting, emotional, or meaningful, and you’re fully invested in what happens next.

My take on this book:

It was not bad. It made me feel quite intrigued and curious.
