The Maze Runner is the first book in a dystopian, science fiction trilogy. There is a prequel, The Kill Order. The Maze Runner is set in the Glade, a type of farm, inhabited by teen boys, the Gladers. The book is about a boy named Thomas who is sent up through an elevator in a box to the Glade. Thomas and the Gladers that are stuck in the Glade have no memory of who they were in their past life or who they knew before arriving at the Glade. They just remember their own names. The Glade, surrounded by high walls, is in the middle of a maze that has monsters called Grievers in it. It is Thomas, and shortly after, Teresa (the only girl) and the Gladers job to map the maze, find a code and escape the Maze. But will the Grievers get them first? I enjoyed the all the books in the Maze Runner series! -by Hilde S. |
