The Maze Runner/James Dashner/375 pgs.

Until the arrival of "Thomas," teenage boys are being "dropped" into a box ultimately ending up in the Glade--a large area enclosed by stone walls. This has occurred on a monthly basis for a few years, but the day after Thomas's arrival, a girl arrives--Teresa. Did I mention that during the day, "doors" open up leading to a maze--inhabited by the Grievers? Also, the teenagers enter the Glade only knowing their first names. Why the "Gladers" are there, and how they propose to escape the maze, makes for nonstop action, and a very fast read. This book is followed by the "sequel" The Scorch Trials, with a third book scheduled to come out next month.
