 The book is about a boy named Thomas who winds up in the Box confused and scared with no memory except for his name. Outside the box is the Glade where there are lots of boys around his age who help guide him through his first few days. But outside the Glade, there is the Maze. Every night, the doors to the maze close, protecting the Gladers from the Grievers, mechanical, slug-like creatures that can kill. The day after he arrives, the first girl ever to come to the glade shows up. She has a message that surprises the Gladers. They have to find their way out of the maze before they all die.
