(Doo-da-loo-doo, doo-da-loo-doo-doo)
It's down to the final two books! Which book will have all the glory and which will lose it all?
The Maze Runner ★★★★☆
“Tonight, they’d make their stand, once and for all...” - James Dashner
When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his name. He's surrounded by strangers-boys whose memories are also gone. They call themselves the Gladers, and just like Thomas, they don't know why or how they got to the Glade.
Outside the towering stone walls that surround the Glade is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It's the only way out-and no one's ever made it through alive.

Set in a post-apocalyptic world, the Maze Runner is a thrilling book filled to the brim with heroic action and wild moments! This book is fast paced and heart-pounding until the very last words!
Wonder ★★★☆☆
"When given the choice between being right or being kind, choose kind..." - R.J. Palacio
August Pullman is an ordinary boy with an extraordinary face.
When August begins at middle school, he is nervous. Not only is he nervous for the same reasons as every other kid in his new class but because August cannot walk down the hall without being the subject of stares and cruelty. Auggie has a facial deformity that makes him appear different from everyone else. But is he really that different? Can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them, despite appearances?
R.J. Palacio has written a feel-good, warm, uplifting story that will have readers laughing one minute and wiping away tears the next.
Hmmmm...Who to pick? Who to pick? Such a tough decision arises when both books are outstanding in their own right. I found that both books contained some life lessons in them, and good ones at that!
Wonder: Our own words and actions are capable of building up or breaking down the human spirit.
The Maze Runner: If you never act, you'll never know for sure.
Now I must ask myself which book I enjoyed more and would like to see win.
The Maze Runner of course! Good for Wonder for making it this far!
