The next book in the Maze Runner series is The Death Cure guessing taking right after the events of The Scorch Trials or maybe a couple of months or days later. Im still on the last chapter of The Scorch Trials but I can predict what might happen next to the character, but not the setting because I don't completly know where Thomas is going next. I am predicting that Teresa is gone since what was revealed near the end of The Scorch Trials. The things that i now wonder is since the earth isn't a barren wasteland anymore, who will their new allies and enemies be?

The Scorch Trials: Reading Skills
In The Scorch Trials, I am getting close to the end of my book and I was wondering some things as it got to the end. One question was Teresa and someone else named Aris were trying to kill Thomas all along as it got to the end but why? Was Teresa with the wicked group all along? And how long was wicked planning to try and knock out Thomas? Possibly when, why, or how did Teresa turn on Thomas? Even though I'm on the last chapter, i might predict that in the next book, maybe Teresa isn't going to be in it at all. I honestly don't know. A text-to-text connection is actually the first book of the series, where the old members of the gladers had turned against Thomas for their own good. A text-to-world connection could possibly be country rivalries like the United States and Afghanistan because it causes conflict between two people/ groups of people. And a text-to-self connection might be your sports team against the other team because both of you are competing against a common goal. Even though this connection also is about the fun of playing the sport, they're always is some competition.

The Scorch Trials #2
The book I'm reading is The Scorch Trials. So far whats happening is one of the Glader members just got killed by one or many of the Cranks, the creatures that are a part of the wasteland. I think Thomas and Teresa weren't with the Gladers at that moment, but based on what the other Glader members told them, he got taken away by the Cranks, and I don't know if he got infected the flare plague, if he got away, it was never explained. So far that's the only person that has died that was present in the beginning of the book. Thomas and Teresa are ok, they haven't lost anybody that they're close to. Well at least not yet we'll have to wait and see.
The Scorch Trials: Recommendations
The book I'm reading is called The Scorch Trials and I would recommend this book to everyone of all ages. It takes place right after The Maze Runner, which is the first book in the series. Right now, I am at a part where Thomas, the main character, is already ganged up with another elite group called the Gladers, and another unmentioned character named Teresa, and they've already started the next challenge. It is said that it is to be more challenging than their first ones, made up of barren wastelands, and with a new opponent called Cranks, part of the wastelands and were infected with the flare disease. So far, many bad things have happened to both Thomas, the Gladers, and especially the people that they've encountered along the way. Many people have made it through, many people haven't made it that far. But so people know, Thomas and Teresa are still alive, and you'll have to find out if the Gladers are making it this far. If you like these science fictions and dystopian future types of books, then I would definitely recommend this book, as this book makes you wonder what will happen next.

The Scorch Trials: Predictions
In The Scorch Trials, I infer that either none or not many of the gladers will make it through the challenge. I think this because even though the gladers made it through the maze, I'm not completely sure if they can make it this time. They seemed a lot stronger and greater as in numbers in the maze. And since they have less people, their odds seem less likely. Even though this might go towards Thomas, since he is just a single man, he seemed to do better on his own, so far in the challenges, they've lost 1 person that was part of the gladers, and fortunately, it wasn't the flare that killed that person so hopefully the disease isn't coming to any of them yet. I will have to see how this shapes out through the story, to see if this is correct or not.
The Scorch Trials
The independent novel that I am reading is called The Scorch Trials by James Dashner. This book takes place right after the events of the Maze Runner, where the main character Thomas, comes right back from the maze in the first book. I haven't read too much of the book yet, but afterwards, the gladers, another group coming from the maze, blamed Thomas for an accident that had happened in the room, with the rescuers dead. Now they have to do another task, which is to pass the scorch trials. Apparently, it is going to be more challenging than the maze. There is also a disease called the flare that lurks within the field, so both the gladers and Thomas have to avoid the threats of the wasteland. There also seems to be more information about the characters and their experiences, like the gladers are struggling to survive when they are faced with the challenges of the scorch trials, while Thomas is able to survive just as he had done in the maze. So far this book has been ok, but I'm liking it just as much as I liked the first book.
