A note for parents
The Maze Runner is a fast-paced dystopian survival series with substantial action violence, suspenseful and occasionally traumatic scenarios, and some mild language. The core narrative emphasizes teamwork, courage, and resilience in the face of impossible odds, with protagonists who grow through adversity. This is best suited for teen readers who enjoy high-stakes adventure and can handle intense thriller elements; it's darker than middle-grade but not graphically gory.

This four-book collection of the blockbuster phenomenon The Maze Runner series now features chapters from the highly-anticipated series conclusion, The Fever Code, the book that finally reveals the story of how the maze was built! When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his name. He’s surrounded by strangers—boys whose memories are also gone. Outside the towering stone walls that surround them is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It’s the only way out—and no one’s ever made it through alive. Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying. Remember. Survive. Run. 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. Also look for James Dashner’s edge-of-your-seat MORTALITY DOCTRINE series!
