Book two in the blockbuster Maze Runner series that spawned a movie franchise and ushered in a worldwide phenomenon! And don’t miss The Fever Code, the highly-anticipated series conclusion that finally reveals the story of how the maze was built!
 
   Thomas was sure that escape from the Maze would mean freedom for him and the Gladers. But WICKED isn’t done yet. Phase Two has just begun. The Scorch.
   The Gladers have two weeks to cross through the Scorch—the most burned-out section of the world. And WICKED has made sure to adjust the variables and stack the odds against them.
   There are others now. Their survival depends on the Gladers’ destruction—and they’re determined to survive.
   Friendships will be tested. Loyalties will be broken. All bets are off.

The Maze Runner and Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials are now major motion pictures featuring the star of MTV's Teen Wolf, Dylan O’Brien; Kaya Scodelario; Aml Ameen; Will Poulter; and Thomas Brodie-Sangster. The third movie, Maze Runner: The Death Cure, will hit screens in 2018.

The book I am reading is maze runner the scortch trials is about a few gladers from a maze that was guarded by huge concrete walls. On the other side of the walls are creatures named grievers they only come out at night, but the Walls open in the morning and close at sundown, but recently they were transferred to a different trial like the maze and have to escape to a place called flat trans and Teresa a girl who was last dropped at the maze has this ability to communicate tellipathically with people. But then when Thomas the main character went to find her along with other gladers they found something differ but totally the same. They found an alternate version of Teresa. They found a boy named Aris and he could do the same thing that Teresa could do he could communicate tellipathically and when the other gladers thought that Aris was a fake he knew something must've happened. After a while they were visited by a an that told them that they had to go to flat trans and on the way they lost two people because a huge metallic ball that could levitate and it could melt people's heads until it cut it straight off. And eventually they reached the end of the dark abyss and they found a way out. I would give this book a five star so far.✋
