The Maze Runner by James Dashner

Book 1: The Maze Runner

When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his first name. His memory is blank. But he’s not alone. When the lift’s doors open, Thomas finds himself surrounded by kids who welcome him to the Glade—a large, open expanse surrounded by stone walls. Just like Thomas, the Gladers don’t know why or how they got to the Glade. All they know is that every morning the stone doors to the maze that surrounds them have opened. Every night they’ve closed tight. And every 30 days a new boy has been delivered in the lift. Thomas was expected. But the next day, a girl is sent up—the first girl to ever arrive in the Glade. And more surprising yet is the message she delivers. Thomas might be more important than he could ever guess. If only he could unlock the dark secrets buried within his mind. (from JamesDashner.com)

Watch all Book Trailers for 5th Wave & Infinite Sea

5th Wave:  After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one.

Now, it’s the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth’s last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie’s only hope for rescuing her brother—or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender

Infinite Sea: Surviving the first four waves was nearly impossible. Now Cassie Sullivan finds herself in a new world, a world in which the fundamental trust that binds us together is gone. As the 5th Wave rolls across the landscape, Cassie, Ben, and Ringer are forced to confront the Others’ ultimate goal: the extermination of the human race.

Cassie and her friends haven’t seen the depths to which the Others will sink, nor have the Others seen the heights to which humanity will rise, in the ultimate battle between life and death, hope and despair, love and hate.

Far Far Away by Tom McNeal

"Jeremy Johnson Johnson has the rare ability to hear ghosts’ voices, and that’s how Jacob Grimm’s ghost becomes his mentor and guardian. Thanks to Jacob, Jeremy’s a whiz at school, knows fairy tales inside out, and has an advantage in negotiating the romantic interest of amber-eyed Ginger Boultinghouse. But someone has it in for Jeremy and Ginger, a someone whose malignant purpose gives this buoyant, intelligent story a shiver of horror as dark as any of Grimms’. The stock figures and situations of Grimms’ tales glimmer in McNeal’s small-town, middle-American setting, like tantalizing clues in a story that becomes ever darker even as it sparkles with the dignified, affectionate voice of its ghostly narrator. Sprightly, assured and original." --The Toronto Star
