(375 p., Call Number: YA FICTION DASHNER, JAMES)Thomas wakes up in an elevator, remembering nothing but his own name. He emerges into a world of about 60 teen boys who have learned to survive in a completely enclosed environment, subsisting on their own agriculture and supplies from below; a new boy arrives every 30 days. The original group has been in "the glade" for two years; no one knows why they’re there, or where they came from, but each day they send out runners into the constantly shifting labyrinth to search for a way out. Bizarre technological monsters called Grievers patrol the Maze's corridors, almost certain death for any who encounter them. Just when they have begun to give up hope, a comatose girl arrives with a strange note, and their world begins to change.
The Maze Runner features a group of teens struggling for survival in a hostile environment; readers who enjoyed that aspect of The Hunger Games should strongly consider picking this book up.
