I am continuing my theme of not engaging in an email dialogue with my team before I blog and provide my pick - sorry team.
SCYTHE: Humans have conquered hunger, disease, war, and death itself. Scythes are the only ones who are commanded to kill to keep the world at an ideal population. Citra and Rowan are chosen to apprentice to a scythe—a role that neither wants. Told through different points of view, the reader is drawn into the characters' world and may be forced to examine "what does it mean to be human if we cannot die?".
REFUGEE: A historical novel that shares three stories of families that are desperate to change their future. These stories tug at your heart and mind. The hopes and trauma of escaping your home country are poignantly and respectfully explored.
Choosing a book to continue is a challenge. I can see how both books could support much discussion and exploration of what it means to be human. However, a vote must be given - my vote is for Scythe.
