The Maze Runner by James Dashner
I loved this book, I couldn't put it down!  
Thomas
 arrives to the Glade in the "box."  He has no memory of his past other 
than his name.  The other boys tell him that a new boy arrives on the 
same day every month.  All of the boys are pre-teen or teenagers. None 
of the boys remember anything more then their name before arriving to 
the Glade.  All they know is they must survive, they need to solve the 
Maze to go home, and no one should find themselves outside the walls 
after dark.
The Creators (as the boys call 
them), sent the first group of boys to the Glade 2 years ago.  Since 
then, some have been lost, some have died, and the others have developed
 a "do or die" routine to help them survive and find their way out.
Almost
 as soon as Thomas arrives, it's apparent that he is different.  Some 
boys say they recognize him, although they don't know how. This has 
never happened before and stirs distrust in some of them.  The day after
 he arrives, they receive another new kid.  A girl.  The first girl 
ever.  She comes with a warning, everything's going to change and she is
 the last arrival.....EVER.  Soon, it 
becomes clear that all the rules are changing.  It's more important than
 ever that they solve the Maze and get back to wherever they came from.
This
 book is full of mystery and action from beginning to end.  Leaving you 
in a cliffhanger, ready to read the next book.  The first in a trilogy, 
you'll want to have book 2 close at hand when you finish this book. 
 Luckily all 3 books are out now and I intend to read them all.
