The Fever Code (The Maze Runner #5; Prequel #2)

This week on YA, We Read It! Laura and Meggie are joined by Arthur Howell (creator of 2 Cents Critic blog & podcast) for a lovely stroll into the fifth Maze Runner book. Following the story of how the maze got made, we focus on Thomas, our protagonist once again, and his life under Wicked's roof from early childhood to his teens. Teresa and him become fast friends and meet the other Gladers over the years ultimately until the maze is completed and they fully realize how bad Wicked actually is. The Fever Code works hard to answer all the questions from the original trilogy (yet arguably leaves us with more questions, but hey! who's counting?) as it flashes through the years up until Thomas' first day in the maze.
