Thomas arrives in the Glade with his name and nothing else, hauled up in a lift into a walled settlement of boys who have all lost the same memories. Beyond those walls lies the Maze, and it rearranges itself every night.
James Dashner paces the opening book of his dystopian series around discovery: the rules the Gladers live by, the creatures that patrol the corridors after dark, and the arrival that breaks the routine everyone has settled into. Short chapters and frequent cliffhangers keep the pace quick, which is part of why the series found a wide teenage readership and a film adaptation.
What this title covers:
• Opening novel of a bestselling young adult dystopian series
• Survival plotting with a puzzle at the centre of the story
