Join Random House Children’s Books’ #DASHNERDASH BINGE READ
May 24, 2016
James Dashner fans everywhere are invited to take part in the #DASHNERDASH BINGE READ, a rereading of all four titles in the bestselling Maze Runner series, in advance of the September 27 publication of the eagerly anticipated Maze Runner prequel novel, THE FEVER CODE. When discussing the reread on social media, readers are encouraged to use the hashtag #DashnerDash to follow along in the conversation. 
Rereads of THE SCORCH TRIALS begin on June 27, followed by THE DEATH CURE on July 27, and THE KILL ORDER on August 27. Questions can again be submitted via Facebook, and a book-club-style discussion will occur at the end of each month. The Google Hangout for THE KILL ORDER at the end of August will lead right into the publication of THE FEVER CODE on September 27.
Bloggers are encouraged to take part in the binge read, and those participating will receive a number of signed Dashner books to give away.
What better way to celebrate the start of summer than by revisiting a beloved series and introducing the books to new fans? Look for the first two chapters of THE FEVER CODE, recently revealed in the paperback edition of THE RULE OF THOUGHTS, to be discussed in the Maze Runner Google Hangout as well. Titles are available wherever books are sold. The series has sold over 14 million copies in all formats.
