The+Maze.

Rick walker is trapped in a maze. His parents deserted him, and his grandmother is dead. Each of the foster homes he's had also brought him to a dead end. Now he's been put in the Blue Canyon Youth Detention Center. "Rick went numb instantly. Paralyzed. Stuck by lightning. He'd heard about Blue Canyon, Down near Las Vegas. There were even murderers in there." (pg. 7) Rick has com to a point in the maze were all paths are horrible, and he can't go back. Only weeks until the end of his sentance, Rick has managed to stay out of everyone else's way. Now he's herd news that someone is going to try to kill him. He must now escape with only silverware stolen from the lunchroom and his jacked. He makes it and manages to stow away in someone's trunk. When he finally gets out, he finds himself in the middle of a canyon, in the desert, in Utah. In the story, he steals a car, meets a man with a scar, finds friends in the 6 wild condors left in America, saves a life, and learns to fly. The book is extremely exciting with wild characters and misfits who learn to work together. I had a hard time putting it down and recommend it to, well, everybody because it has a little of everything. ---Jon---

Reply- The Maze sounds really good, intense and exciting and I am definitely going read it. This book also seems sad not having his grandmother and not having any parents to help him because he was deserted. I am glad that the story has a little of everything because I think it probably makes the reader engrossed in the book. The Maze reminds me of other books that I have previously read and I have enjoyed. So, from reading those books similar to this I think I will enjoy The Maze for sure. I am so glad that you have enjoyed this book and thanks so much for introducing me to it so I can read it as well. I can't wait to get my hands on it and finally reading it! Thanks!
