What to Read Next: The Maze Runner

So you've burned through the entire Maze Runner Trilogy, you've seen the new movie. What next? Well, here are a few places to start (that are not Hunger Games or Divergent):

1) The Gone series by Michael Grant

Why: Haven't read this one (YET, I'll get to it...one of these days) but it features a group of kids living without adult supervision who are trying to figure out what the hell is going on. I'm sure Thomas and co. could relate.

2) The Ship Breaker by Paolo Bacigalupi

Why: Also features interesting dystopian world and group of teens trying to survive.

3) Lord of the Flies by William Golding

Why: Also features teen boys surviving together. Unfortunately it doesn't go as well as the Maze Runner. They didn't have a Thomas and Minho.

4) The Compound by S. A. Bodeen

Why: Has teen boy living in isolation with group for mysterious reasons.

5) Under the Dome by Stephan King

Why: Has group of people trapped in a town for mysterious reasons.
