How would you handle being
thrown into a place where your instincts and will to live must be strong enough
to help you survive? Welcome to the Maze and be prepared to run for your life.
Author James Dashner's best-selling novel the “Maze Runner” is now a major
motion picture that will get your blood rushing. Readers can use this guide to
get up close and personal with its characters. Magnificent full color photos
draw readers into the world of the plush green habitat and the runners that
spend their time there. Readers also get an inside view of what's lurking
inside the deadly maze. Chapters inside this guide cover the Box, Glade, the
Gladers, the Maze and the Girl. There is law and order in the Glade. The pit
has two main functions, it's where the greenies or new arrivals, spend their
first night and it's a secure location to hold a glader, or habitat of the
glade, who might be dangerous or in need of punishment. Each character, outside
of running the Maze, has a purpose or job. Readers will learn about Minho, the
fastest runner, Jeff the onsite medic, and Frypan the cook. Everything these
characters need is dropped in via the box. They plant seeds they acquire from
the box to grow their own food. These characters even hold council to make many
of their decisions. There is only one thing they fear and that's the creatures
that come out at night in the Maze. One thing the guide doesn't share is how
the story ends. Readers will find no spoilers here. What readers will find is
an even bigger reason to read the book and see the movie. Author Veronica Deets
has done a wonderful job of honing in on the essence of this exciting film.
This guide is a must have resource. Young readers will love the snapshots of
these characters.
