What would you do if you woke up in a strange new place, surrounded by strangers and a huge maze filled with man-eating creatures? What if you didn't remember anything about your life other than your name? Thomas, the main character in The Maze Runner, is a 16-year-old who finds himself in this predicament. He decides to try to fit in to the new society by becoming a maze runner, a group of elite boys who run into the maze each day to try to map it and find the exit, while getting out early enough to avoid the man-eating Grievers. His strategy seems to be working out until one day a new person arrives in the maze-a girl, the only girl to ever be introduced to the backwards futuristic world of the Glade. Now, with everyone and everything disrupted, can Thomas find the exit before they all die?
