The Maze Runner

by James Dashner

Type: Novel

Genre: Sci-Fi/Action

Thomas wakes up in a metal elevator with no memory of who he is or how he got there. When the doors open, he finds himself in "The Glade," a large open space surrounded by massive stone walls that shift every night. Beyond those walls lies the Maze—a deadly, ever-changing labyrinth filled with mechanical nightmares known as Grievers. Alongside a group of boys who have been trapped for years, Thomas must solve the puzzle of the Maze before the walls close on them for good.
