                        I have started  a new book called The Maze Runner by James Dashner. This book is very interesting to me because it is about a boy named Thomas who is abducted and then trapped inside this maze. His memory is erased and he is surrounded by a lot of boys that watch him come out of the tube that brought him there. Confused, Thomas watches other runners loose their lives to going inside of the maze...but they were not fast enough. Thomas meets Chuck. He is a young chubby boy that was brought into the maze a while back. Thomas then becomes friends with Chuck, and they would go through the maze together.


                     Thomas finds out that every month a new person with supplies comes through the same elevator that brought him, and Thomas realizes that going through the maze is the only way to make it out. The only way you can go into the maze is if you are able to successfully make it through. You then become a "runner". The runners go throughout the land to look for certain escape routes once you enter the maze. Thomas goes out to gather some supplies but then he is attacked by Ben. A runner that has been stung by "Griever". A griever is a creature that roams the maze during the night. Since Ben has been stung by the griever, the other boys decide they need to banish Ben. They do this by throwing him into the Maze to die.


                    This is where is paused my reading. So far I am really enjoying this book! I find it to be very suspenseful and exciting to find out what will happen to Thomas and to see if he decides to go into the Maze to try and escape. I cant wait to see what happens!
