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.

Titles in this set: 1. Full Measures 2. Eyes Turned Skyward 3. Beyond What is Given 4. Hallowed Ground 5. The Reality of Everything Description: Full Measures Three knocks can change everything. Twenty years as an army brat and Ember Howard knew . . . the soldiers at the door meant her dad was never coming home. What she didn't know was how she would find the strength to care for her crumbling family while her mum fell apart. Then, hockey star Josh Walker enters her life. He has a way of erasing the pain with a single look, a single touch. As much as she wants to turn off her feelings and endure the heartache on her own, she can't deny their intense attraction. But when Josh's secret shatters their world, Ember must decide if he's worth the risk that comes with loving a man who could strip her bare. Eyes Turned Skyward They're flying through dangerous territory and one wrong move could make them crash and burn . . . Since her sister's death, Paisley Donovan, who shares her sister's heart condition, has been treated like delicate glass by her parents. But nothing will stop her from completing her Bucket List - even if it kills her. And it almost does until Jagger Bateman pulls her from the ocean. Jagger is enrolled in the country's toughest flight school. Wickedly hot, reckless, and perfect for a girl looking to live life to the fullest. Except Paisley is the commanding general's daughter, and her boyfriend is his biggest rival. Paisley must decide just how much to risk for a guy who makes her heart pound a little too hard. Beyond What is Given Be careful what you wish for . . . Grayson Masters is focused on graduating and the last thing he needs is his gorgeous new roommate distracting him. And though her smart mouth is irresistibly irritating, he can't seem to deny their off-the-charts chemistry. Samantha Fitzgerald has no business digging for Grayson's secrets while she's hiding her own, but that doesn't stop her from trying to tear down his walls. But, she's not prepared for the truth: another woman laid claim to Grayson's heart long ago. Falling in love is something neither of them can afford, and when that line is crossed, they'll learn that sometimes it's the answered prayers that will put you through hell . . . Hallowed Ground Josh and Ember's rollercoaster love story from Full Measures continues . . . Josh Walker is loyal, reckless and every girl's dream. But he only has eyes for December Howard, the girl he's craved since his high school days. Ember never wanted the Army life, but loving Josh means accepting whatever the army dictates-even when that means saying goodbye as Josh heads to Afghanistan as a medevac pilot. Filling their last days together with love and plans for their future doesn't temper Ember's fears, and if there's one thing she's learned from her father's death, it's that there are some obstacles even love can't conquer . . . The Reality of Everything There are some wounds time can't heal, and some fears too consuming to...

Titles in this set: 1. Same as Ever 2. The Psychology of Money Description: Same as Ever When planning for the future we often ask, “What will the economy be doing this time next year?” Or, “What will be different ten years from now?” But forecasting is hard. The important events that will shape the future are inherently unpredictable. Instead, we should be asking a different question: What will be the same ten years from now? What will be the same one hundred years from now? Knowledge of the things that never change is more useful, and more important, than an uncertain prediction of an unknowable future. In Same As Ever, bestselling author Morgan Housel shares 24 short stories about the ways that life, behaviour, and business will always be the same. Armed with this knowledge of the unchanging, you will have a powerful new ability to think about risk, opportunity, and how to navigate the uncertainty of the future. The Psychology of Money Doing well with money isn't necessarily about what you know. It's about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. Money investing, personal finance, and business decisions is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don't make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life's most important topics.
