WOULD YOU SURVIVE...

...if you found yourself in a strange world with a group of boys, your memory wiped clean, living in a compound where the walls close at night to keep out the Grievers, weird monsters that are trying to kill (and eat) you? That's what happens to Thomas in James Dashner's book The Maze Runner. Thomas, Newt, Minho, Frypan, Chuck, and the other boys are trying to find an escape route through the maze outside the walls, but the paths change every night. Inside the walls, the boys have organized themselves to be self-sufficient with their own farm for growing fruits and vegetables and chickens, pigs, and goats for food. But they all want to leave. The Maze Runner is the first book in a trilogy. I'm currently reading the second book The Scorch Trials, and the series ends with The Death Cure. If you read The Maze Runner, you will want to finish the series and see if Thomas and his friends survive. Hunger Games fans, put this new trilogy on your reading list!
