Synopsis

When the doors of the lift crank open the only thing Thomas remembers is his first name. But he's not alone. He's surrounded by boys who welcome him to the Glade — a walled encampment at the centre of a bizarre and terrible stone maze.Like Thomas, the Gladers don't know how or why they came to be there — or what's happened to the world outside. All they know is that every morning when the walls slide back they will risk everything — even the Grievers; half-machine, half-animal horrors that patrol its corridors — to try to find the way out.Now a major motion picture. "[A] mysterious survival saga that passionate fans describe as a fusion of Lord of the FliesThe Hunger Games, and Lost." EW.com“Wonderful action-writing—fast-paced…but smart and well observed.” Newsday“[A] nail-biting must-read.” Seventeen.com“Breathless, cinematic action.” Publishers Weekly“Heart pounding to the very last moment.” Kirkus Reviews
