This paperback collection features the five thrilling novels in the dystopian survival adventure series The Maze Runner by James Dashner. This box set features all of the books in the best-selling series including The Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials, The Death Cure, The Kill Order and The Fever Code. The books are written from the perspective of sixteen-year-old Thomas, as he arrives in the Glade in the centre of a giant labyrinth filled with the most terrifying half-human, half-machine creatures designed to brutally kill anyone that tries to escape the Maze. Like the many other kids before him, Thomas has no recollection of any memories of life before the Maze, except for his name. But Thomas’ arrival sparks a change. With more dangerous tests lurking around the corner getting closer and closer, threatening their safe haven, can the Gladers escape the dreaded maze in time? But even if they do escape, they have to worry about the deadly Flare disease that continues to ravage the population outside of the Maze walls. Victims of the Flare are said to slowly decay as the virus eats away at the brain, turning those infected into bloodthirsty “Cranks” who are capable of torturing and killing any that cross their path. But now, the Gladers have an important choice to make if they are to plan their escape. Are they all immune or at risk of infection? Would it be safer to stay trapped in the maze or to find the WICKED organisation and demand their memories back? With no recollection of their past, can they really trust each other? With dividing decisions and rising tensions, the group must appoint a leader to guide them on the right path to survival. The fate of the world is in their hands, whether they know it yet or not. And if there’s one thing they must remember, it's that: WICKED is good… This is a fantastic series to keep any dystopian action fans aged 11+ entertained for hours, filled with action-packed adventures, death-defying stunts and horrifying creatures sure to keep you up at night. This collection is perfect for fans of other dystopian YA books such as Suzanne Collin's The Hunger Games trilogy and Veronica Roth’s Divergent series for more action-packed adventures, terrible twists and life-changing sacrifices.

Just because I don’t have a record, honey, doesn’t mean I’m clean. It just means I’m better at not getting caught. That is until I realize I might’ve actually gone too far this time. She’s there. I’m there. The scene of the crime. It’s dark. The police show up.We have no choice. We run. Down High Street, into Quinn’s bake shop, and I pull her through the entrance to the old speakeasy that everyone forgot was here decades ago.

Titles In The Set: 1. One of us is Lying 2. One of us is Next 3. One of us is Back(Hardback) Description: One of us is Lying Five students walk into detention. Only four come out alive. Yale hopeful Bronwyn has never publicly broken a rule. Sports star Cooper only knows what he's doing in the baseball diamond. Bad boy Nate is one misstep away from a life of crime. Prom queen Addy is holding together the cracks in her perfect life. And outsider Simon, creator of the notorious gossip app at Bayview High, won't ever talk about any of them again. He dies 24 hours before he could post their deepest secrets online. Investigators conclude it's no accident. All of them are suspects. Everyone has secrets, right? What really matters is how far you'll go to protect them. One of us is Next A ton of copycat gossip apps have popped up since Simon died, but in the year since the Bayview four were cleared of his shocking death, no one's been able to fill the gossip void quite like he could. The problem is no one has the facts. Until now. This time it's not an app, though—it's a game. Truth or Dare. Phoebe's the first target. If you choose not to play, it's a truth. And hers is dark. Then comes Maeve and she should know better—always choose the dare. But by the time Knox is about to be tagged, things have gotten dangerous. The dares have become deadly, and if Maeve learned anything from Bronwyn last year, it's that they can't count on the police for help. Or protection. Simon's gone, but someone's determined to keep his legacy at Bayview High alive. And the rules have changed. One of us is Back(Hardback) It's been almost two years since Simon died in detention, and the aftermath has been hard to shake. First the Bayview Four had to prove they weren’t killers. Then a new generation outwitted a vengeful copycat. Now the entire Bayview Crew is back home for the summer, and everyone is trying to move on. Only, this is Bayview, and life is never that simple. At first the mysterious billboard seems like a bad joke: Time for a new game, Bayview. But when a member of the Bayview Crew disappears, it’s clear this “game” is serious—and whoever’s in charge isn't sharing the rules. Or maybe there aren’t any. Bronwyn. Cooper. Addy. Nate. Maeve. Phoebe. Knox. Luis. Kris. Everyone’s a target. And now that someone unexpected has returned to Bayview, things could start getting deadly. The thing is, Simon was right about secrets—they all come out eventually. And Bayview has a lot it’s still hiding.
