The Maze Runner: James Dashner
The Maze Runner is the first in a series of books set in a dystopian future. It begins with main character Thomas being transported by the box into The Glade, a community of around 70 young boys, surrounded by a maze.
All newcomers have had their memories wiped by the Creators who have put them there, but they have established a community over time and are trying to find a way through the maze which is full of horrible beasts called the Grievers.
To the Gladers shock, a girl is transported in to the Glade with a warning that she will be the last person ever to be brought and then falls into a coma. When she wakes up however, bad things start to happen. First the sun disappears, then the box no longer brings up supplies and finally the Grievers are let loose into the Glade. As the Gladers are killed one by one, Thomas desperately has to find a way to escape the maze before the Grievers take him too.
I love dystopian books so this one was a big hit right from the start. I think it’s cool how it has such an original concept and the sense of danger really builds through the book.
More suitable for 12+ readers.
