When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his first name. His memory is blank. But he’s not alone. When the lift’s doors open, Thomas finds himself surrounded by kids who welcome him to the Glade—a large, open expanse surrounded by stone walls.

Just like Thomas, the Gladers don’t know why or how they got to the Glade. All they know is that every morning the stone doors to the maze that surrounds them have opened. Every night they’ve closed tight. And every 30 days a new boy has been delivered in the lift.

Thomas was expected. But the next day, a girl is sent up—the first girl to ever arrive in the Glade. And more surprising yet is the message she delivers.

Thomas might be more important than he could ever guess. If only he could unlock the dark secrets buried within his mind.

Welcome to bookcrossing! You have "caught" what we call a "travelling book." It is now your book to keep or to read and pass on to another reader and follow where the book goes. This is done by journal entries, so I really hope you'll journal it, if only to tell me you found it. You can do this anonymously, or sign up (free and private, no spam) and also be able to follow the book as it travels! If you do, please consider listing me, megami-no-ushi as your referring member.

On it's way to Australia! This was a thrilling book- very edge of your seat. When I got near the end I ended up staying up until 2 am to finish it! I'm looking forward to reading the sequel.

Arrived in the post on Friday. Thanks to megami-no-ushi for sending it to me as part of the Alphabet VBB. Looks great!

I really enjoyed this book. It was fairly unbelievable and some of the plot twists didn't quite work, but I found it to be interesting and engaging nonetheless. I quite liked that it's written for teens, I think that kept it more lighthearted and humourous than it could have been otherwise. Probably it's just my juvenile sense of humour enjoying it when writers write from the perspective of teens! Keen to read the next books in the series now.

Posted to crimson-tide in Western Australia as part of the Wishlist Tag Game. Enjoy!
