More on The Maze Runner

 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.
I liked it because it's a serious, suspenseful, and fast-paced book. I also enjoyed this book because its like the Hunger Games. I think Hunger Games lovers will definitely love this book. It is set in a future world where the characters have to fight to survive.

The Island of Thieves by Josh Lacey

Tom's parents are going on vacation, but since Tom recently burned down a shed no one wants to watch after him. Finally, Tom's dad had no other option but to call Tom's uncle to see if he could watch after Tom. Gradually Tom's uncle Harvey agreed to watch after Tom. But as soon as Tom's parents drop him off at Uncle Harvey's house things get complicated. What Tom thought would be spending an entire week in New York turned out to be finding himself in a different country, meeting dangerous people, and eating fine tasting hamster.
This book was action-packed, full of adventures, and has a great mystery to it. Not only did I love this book for how well it was written, but I also loved the way the author described the themes and settings.

This book is about Robert on his first day of middle school. He tries to find a friend from his old elementary school. Instead all he finds is Glen, his old school bully.

The Maze Runner by James Dashner

This book is about a boy named Thomas who wakes up with no memory in a small room called the box. In the town he wakes up in, called the Glade, he realizes all the people that live there are boys. The Glade is in the middle of a Maze and some boys, called runners, must run into the mazes all day to find a way out before dark or the evil half-robot, half-animal creatures will sting them. Everybody has to have a job and Thomas wants to be a runner to find a way out of the maze. Two days after Thomas arrived, another person arrived. She brings a weird message that leaves everybody shocked.
I liked the book because of the adventure. It is very suspenseful when Thomas has to fight off grievers, the evil stinging creatures who live in the maze. When you read it, it is so good that you can't put the book down.
