Description
When the doors of the lift crank open, the only thing Thomas remembers is his first name. But he's not alone. He's surrounded by boys who welcome him to the Glade — a walled encampment at the centre of a bizarre and terrible stone maze.
Like Thomas, the Gladers don't know how or why they came to be there — or what's happened to the world outside. All they know is that every morning when the walls slide back they will risk everything — even the Grievers; half-machine, half-animal horrors that patrol its corridors — to try and find the way out.
The Maze Runner by James Dashner takes you on a thrilling journey with Thomas and the Gladers as they navigate a world filled with mystery and danger, searching for an escape from the perplexing maze. Will they uncover the secrets that brought them here, or will they succumb to the terrors lurking within?
