She, like Thomas, seems to be about 16 years old. Teresa is another main character, she is the girl that was sent up in the box. He is also a very curious guy, he likes to ask lots of questions and hates when people don’t answer or don’t tell him the whole truth. However, despite being smart, he tends to act irrationally and not think things through before he makes choices. He looks about 16 years old (his age is also erased from memory) and he has brown hair and eyes. He, like everyone else in the Glade, is unable to remember the past. Thomas is the main character in the book. Now the Gladers need to find a way out before it’s too late. As the book goes on, Thomas continues to uncover the terrifying truth of the maze and the reason they were sent there. It was like clockwork until the day after Thomas arrives the first-ever girl is sent to the Glade, and she carries a very strange message: “Everything is going to change” (page 57). Thomas discovers that every month, a new boy is sent there.

He soon finds out that the boys, who call themselves “the Gladers”, had been there for two years already, trying to find a way out. When he arrives at the Glade, a large field of crops and trees, he is surrounded by 50 teenage boys who also can’t remember their past. Thomas, the main protagonist of the story, finds himself trapped in a huge maze with absolutely no memories of his past, other than his first name. The mood or tone of the book is suspenseful with some hope here and there.

The story is told from a third-person limited point of view.
