These scientists even have the ability to control what the Gladers see, feel and do. Now they must enter the Scorch Trials or be killed. First they travel through a tunnel full of traps and then are dropped into the desert. While stumbling through the desert Thomas runs into Theresa who he thinks is an old friend. Theresa warns him that he will be in danger soon. Then along comes a storm, to escape the storm the Gladers enter a city.

This is where they stumble upon someone infected with the flare and a group of cranks. After a small conflict, they reach an agreement with the cranks. If the cranks protect them and take them to safe haven and the WICKED facility they will give them the cure. During this Journey Thomas finds his name all over the walls and the people say he is a leader. WICKED then steps in and kidnaps Thomas and he realizes how important he is to them. Once again the Gladers run into Theresa and she attempts to kill Thomas. In an ironic twist Thomas is saved by Theresa and she claims that WICKED made her do it.

  1. I never read the books, but watched the first movie because it had Dylan O’brien in it from Teen Wolf. I just love him as an actor, and fell in love with the movie, excited for this one too.

  2. I have never heard of this book. I think my 11 year old might be a little young for this, but I think he would like it when he’s a little older.

  3. I can see why you are excited for the sequel! I hope you enjoy it as much as the first novel!

  4. I haven’t heard of this book or series yet, but you did a good job describing the plot. I actually think my husband might enjoy it.

  5. I just watched the first movie and I enjoyed it. Since I haven’t read the books, I’m not sure if you missed anything on the second one though!

  6. I wasn’t aware of this. To be honest I haven’t seen the movie too. It’s very interesting.
