I also love how William Poulter who plays Euestus in Narnia The Voyage of The Dawn Treader plays in the movie now. Even though I haven't seen the movie.

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!

Okay, so i really want 2 read this before i turn 10. My brother loved it... so, i have a high lexile (and read all harry potter books, i may read it) and my brother said it was v good.
A young boy named Thomas wakes up in some weird box. He also find that other boys have been transported down in some kind of glade... IN THE CENTER OF A MAZE! Nobody can remember much... Expect for their names. Was it a name? Or was it just a Nickname?? Suddenly the tables turn and it's up to Thomas to help them escape the Maze.
I watched the movie I want to watch part two.
