The Maze Runner by James Dashner
Premiering February 14, 2014
I had to read this one for Summer Reading this year, and unlike my other had-to-read selection, it wasn't torturous- it was the complete opposite.
Thomas wakes up in an elevator with no memory of his past or how he got there- all he knows is his name. When the elevator goes up, he is greeted by a large group of boys that have the same story he has. It turns out that a boy has been delivered to them on the same day every month from the beginning. But, the next day, the Gladers get an unexpected surprise. The Box brings an unconscious girl with an ominous note implying that everything is about to change. This book is a great dystopian read (you know how I like those) and I highly recommend it. I have already blown through the second book, and the story progression almost reminds me of The Hunger Games and Catching Fire (which I am also re-reading). The first book ends with the feeling of hope, then in the next one, they realize that the struggle is not quite over yet.
