Scythe vs Refugee

For me this is an easy choice. I have been a Neil Shusterman fan for many years and this novel is just as engaging as his previous books have been.  I enjoy the complex worlds that are created and the way in which the characters are forced to face problems and issues that are not that far removed from our own issues.

I understand that Refugee is also a strong book that is also accessible to many students but when I read it I was not as drawn to the plot as I was with Scythe.  Therefore  my vote is for Scythe.
