When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his first name. He has no recollection of his parents, his home, or how he got where he is. His memory is blank.
But he's not alone. When the lift's doors open, Thomas finds himself surrounded by kids who welcome him to the Glade, a large expanse enclosed by stone walls.
Just like Thomas, the Gladers don't know why or how they got to the Glade. All they know is that every morning, for as long as anyone can remember, the stone doors to the maze that surrounds them have opened. Every night, for just as long, they've closed tight. Every thirty days a new boy is delivered in the lift. And no one wants to be stuck in the Maze after dark.
The Gladers were expecting Thomas's arrival. But the next day, a girl is sent up-the first girl ever to arrive in the Glade. And more surprising yet is the message she delivers. The Gladers have always been convinced that if they can solve the maze that surrounds the Glade, they might find their way home...wherever that may be. But it's looking more and more as if the Maze is unsolvable.
And something about the girl's arrival is starting to make Thomas feel different. Something is telling him that he just might have some answers-if he can only find a way to retrieve the dark secrets locked within his own mind.

I wasn't a big fan of reading in my early elementary years. I would struggle to reach the end of a book, usually quitting before I got close. Then something lit a fire under me and I couldn't get enough. Ever since I have become a bit of a reading fanatic. I have shelves full of books, and am a frequent patron of my local library. THanks for the chance to win.

ReplyDeleteOk, sorry. One more person who is having some technical difficulities. Angelyn, here's your entry, I know you've been trying.
ReplyDeleteOk, before this particular contest I was cutting up papers and putting them in a bowl to draw one out. It kind of felt unprofessional so this time I went to random.org/integer and had a truly random number selected (I had put all your names on an excel spreadsheet so you each had a number or multiple numbers). So the winner is Cami Checketts. Congratulations!
