Book Talk: Thomas wakes up to find himself in a pitch black room unable to remember where he came from, his parents, how he got in the room in the first place, or even his last name. After being pulled out by several teenage boys, Thomas finds himself in a place called the Glade, which is surrounded by a gigantic Maze. After learning more about the maze, Thomas becomes a Runner, one who explores and tries to solve the Maze. Every night, the doors of the maze close, protected those from the Griever’s inside. One night, Thomas makes a fearless decision.
“A loud boom exploded the air, making Thomas jump. It was followed by a horrible crunching, grinding sound. He stumbled backward, fell to the ground. He wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't seen it for himself. The enormous stone wall to the right of them seemed to defy every known law of physics as it slid along the ground, throwing sparks and dust as it moved, rock against rock. The crunching sound rattled his bones. He looked around at the other openings. On all four sides of the Glade, the right walls were moving toward the left, closing the gap of the Doors. Then one final boom rumbled across the Glade as all four Doors sealed shut for the night.”
Find out if Thomas and the other Glader’s will be able to survive and solve the mysteries that surround them in The Maze Runner.
