Scythe is the best book of the bunch.
It is the book that I recommend to the most students. It is the book I see the most students reading. It is the book I most enjoyed, and the one my students enjoyed too.
The others are good, but Scythe gets my vote because it is accessible and engaging. I found it an innovative perspective on technology, and the characters were not satisfied being victims of their circumstance.
We wanted to create a way where we could read a few books, learn about many titles and have fun doing it! The tournament style reading of the Mighty Smackdown means that in the first round each participant reads two books, discusses both in a blog post, selecting one book to move on to the next round. Teachers are asked to commit to one round but most, if not all, continue on. We will read to the end when we will have only one book left standing!
