THE MAZE RUNNER by James Dashner

Thomas wakes up in an elevator and can remember nothing about himself or his life except his name.  When the doors open he is delivered to a world inhabited by teenage boys who, like himself, can remember nothing about their lives before they were delivered to the Glade.  The boys have organized a life for themselves with set jobs and set schedules.  Some boys are assigned the job of runner and explore the maze that surrounds the Glade everyday before the stone doors to the maze shut every night.  The boys think that if they solve the maze they will be able to escape the Glade.  The boys were expecting Thomas when he arrives, but they were not expecting Teresa, the girl who arrives the next day.  They begin to suspect that things are about to drastically change in their world.

The book is written in short chapters--every episodic.  It has lots of action and suspense.
