The Maze Runner
When Thomas arrives in the Glade, a walled encampment at the centre of a bizarre maze, all he remembers is his first name. But he's not alone. Like Thomas, the Gladers don't know why they're 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 to find out.

DescriptionWhen the doors of the lift crank open, the only thing Thomas remembers is his first name. He is not alone, however; he finds himself in the Glade, a mysterious and enclosed encampment inhabited by boys who, like Thomas, have had their memories wiped. The Glade is nestled at the centre of a vast, complex stone maze filled with deadly dangers and baffling mysteries.
Every morning, the walls of the maze slide open, presenting a new and treacherous challenge to the Gladers. They must navigate this ever-changing labyrinth, risking their lives to evade monstrous creatures known as Grievers—terrifying, half-machine, half-animal entities that patrol the maze's corridors. Their goal is to find an elusive escape route and uncover the truth behind their imprisonment.
In The Maze Runner, James Dashner crafts an intense narrative that explores themes of survival, friendship, and the quest for freedom. As the Gladers, led by Thomas, strive to decode the maze's secrets, they face harrowing trials that test their courage and wits at every turn. Will they manage to outwit the maze and escape, or will the Grievers and other hidden perils thwart their attempts? Each twist and turn in the plot keeps readers on the edge of their seats, making this a gripping read from start to finish.
