First Chapter Friday The Maze Runner || Book 1

Friday, January 12, 2024 - I’ve been getting a few requests for DYSTOPIAN books, so it made it the perfect time to share The Maze Runner with you! This book, by James Dashner is the first in a series, was a New York Times Bestseller and has been made into a movie! This book is packed with action, suspense and mystery. If you are looking for something that will keep you on the edge of your seat and the pages turning, The Maze Runner is totally it! Make sure you stay through the whole video so you can discover the secret book quote hidden throughout… one word at a time, like a literary treasure hunt.
Book Blurb: 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. Outside the towering stone walls that surround them is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It’s the only way out-and no one’s ever made it through alive.Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying: Remember. Survive. Run.
