Book one in the blockbuster Maze Runner series that spawned a movie franchise and ushered in a worldwide phenomenon! And don’t miss The Fever Code, the highly-anticipated series conclusion that finally reveals the story of how the maze was built!
When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his name. He’s surrounded by strangers—boys whose memories are also gone.
Outside the towering stone walls that surround them is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It’s the only way out—and no one’s ever made it through alive.
Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying: Remember. Survive. Run.
The Maze Runner and Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials are now major motion pictures featuring the star of MTV's Teen Wolf, Dylan O’Brien; Kaya Scodelario; Aml Ameen; Will Poulter; and Thomas Brodie-Sangster. The third movie, Maze Runner: The Death Cure, will hit screens in 2018.
Also look for James Dashner’s edge-of-your-seat MORTALITY DOCTRINE series!

I wanna read dis book
I absolutely adored this book, I would recommend this book to anyone that likes action, suspense, and a good thrill.
I am in love with this book!!!<3
Nothing like the movie
you guys need to read this BOOK!!!!!
An awesome and suspenseful modern day Lord of the Flies. The Maze Runner is very creative and a little haunting. Don't pass it up because it's dystopian; it's not the same as it's Hunger Games and Divergent siblings.
This was a really good book.It was a good mix of action and horror and the series is really good.I would recommend this to any middle school kids.
this is so awsome
So awesome words can not describe. Crawling slugs with spiky shells, a virus, a test for the brain, and more.
