The Maze runner

 The Maze Runner By: James Dashner If you liked the Hunger Games, you will love this! This dystopian, sci-fi trilogy is written through the eyes of Thomas, a teenager sent into an unknown place, surrounded by maze. Inside this prison-like space, (only) boys around his age live with their leader Alby, who was the very first arrival to the maze.   The story starts off with Thomas' arrival in The Box, making friends, and getting use to life.

Son of a baker, and siblings of many, his mom would beat him, and treat him badly. He is strong from the flower bags, and an art...
