For this bracket of the Junior Smackdown I have chosen to read The Maze Runner by: James Dashner. Personally I really enjoyed this book, I thought it was one of the best books I have ever read. The Maze Runner is about a teenage boy named Thomas, who woke up enclosed in a metal box leading him up to the glade, not knowing anything except his own name. Thomas was sent to the glade, just like all the other boys, for one purpose. That one purpose is to try and escape the maze surrounding the large stone expanse that the gladers call home. As long as anyone can remember, every night the stone walls close, and every morning they open all the same. The gladers were expecting Thomas to arrive, because every month a 'newbie' is sent up in the box. But a day after Thomas's arrival, another person was sent up. A girl. All the gladers had assigned jobs, but Thomas only wanted one, the runner. Thomas and the gladers go through a tough journey to find a way home, including fighting the vicious beasts that live in the maze called grievers. The gladers always thought that solving the maze was their ticket out of there. But the maze is seeming more and more unsolvable.
This is the perfect book for people who enjoy action-packed, fast-paced stories. I wouldn't change a single thing about this book other than some of the wording that's a little hard to understand.
