I would highly recommend this book to teen readers.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! The plot was unpredictable, and very entertaining. I liked the characters Brenda and Jorge, but didn’t like some of the main characters died in this book. I liked the first one more, but this book was also excellent. I enjoyed this book, almost as much as the first one. Some new characters are Brenda and Jorge, who they meet in The Scorch. Other characters from the first book, such as Ably and Chuck die in the first book. Some other characters from the first book are Teresa, Minho, and Newt. Thomas plays the main character, like in the first book. This book contains many characters from the first book, with a few extra ones, and a few gone from dying in the first book. This journey brings up many challenges, with one of them being mentally deranged people infected with The Flare.

After being taken away from the W.I.C.K.E.D facility, the location of the maze, they are made by W.I.C.K.E.D to travel across the scorch zone, a barren desert near the equator. They are shocked, as the world has gone into anarchy after a fatal disease called “The Flare”, has infected most of the world. The survivors of the maze have escaped, and are finally released into the real world. The Maze Runner: Scorch Trials is the sequel book to The Maze Runner, and is the second book in the series.
