Thomas wakes up in an elevator lift and cannot remember anything but his first name. When the door opens, a group of teenage boys welcomes him to The Glade. The Glade is a mysterious place where once a month a new boy is delivered via elevator lift. The group attempts to carry on with life by harvesting food and performing a specific job so the Gladers can experience some type of a semi-normal life. Every day several sets of doors open and allow boys assigned as runners to try to figure a way out of a huge maze. The boys must make sure they return to the Glade before dusk because if they get stuck in the maze overnight, most likely they won't make it out alive. Things are changing - no more survival equipment is delivered via elevator lift weekly, a GIRL arrives a day after Thomas, and the sky remains gray which = major problems with harvesting food. Who is playing such an evil game with these innocent boys? They've been trying to escape for over two years with no luck...is it too late or will The Gladers find a way out alive? If they find success out of the maze could life outside the maze be even worse than in The Glade? If you liked The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins you'll eat this up. Fast, exciting, and suspenseful read that will appeal to adventurous readers of all types.
