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.

This book is great and it is followed by a great series. It changed my way of thinking on a lot of things. This book has your own meaning and it your job to find it...This is also an action packed adventure book with some drama and mystery!!

This is a really good book.

I was talking to my step mom and I said ''I don't know what to read next'' and she recommended many books and one of them was the Maze Runner Series. I thought it sounded interesting so I went to my local library at school and checked it out. The first one was amazing and so far the second isn't bad either.
