Manchester City Library

I recently read The Maze Runner trilogy by James Dashner. It was action-packed and from the first page I was hooked. The main character, Thomas, wakes up in the dark with no memories.  Thomas finds himself living in an area surrounded by a maze with a group of boys, who like Thomas, also have mysteriously lost their memories. Besides trying to figure out who they are and how to get out of the maze, the boys are threatened by deadly monsters that come out at night. The Maze Runner film comes out this September and I can’t wait to see this novel come to life on the big screen.

There are so many other great novels that are being turned into films and I challenge you to read them before you see them.  Here is a list of some to try.
