Synopsis: When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember
is his first name. His memory is blank. But he’s not alone. When the lift’s
doors open, Thomas finds himself surrounded by kids who welcome him to the
Glade—a large, open expanse surrounded by stone walls.
Just like Thomas, the Gladers don’t know why or how they got to the Glade. All they know is that every morning the stone doors to the maze that surrounds them have opened. Every night they’ve closed tight. And every thirty days a new boy has been delivered in the lift.
Thomas was expected. But the next day, a girl is sent up—the first girl to ever arrive in the Glade. And more surprising yet is the message she delivers.
Thomas might be more important than he could ever guess. If only he could unlock the dark secrets buried within his mind.

Youngblood is about to turn sixteen, and she can't wait for the operation that

Tally learns about a whole new side of the pretty world and it isn't very
pretty. The "Special Circumstances" authority Dr Cable offers Tally

I'm really excited for Ender's Game this year. I've been a fan of Orson Scott Card's writing for a long time and while I'm almost certain that hollywood is going to butcher it I still can't wait. Nice post!
