Scythe by Neal Shusterman – Sakura Medal Winner
Scythe by Neal Shusterman is a gripping science fiction novel and winner of the Sakura Medal. Recommended for upper middle and high school readers, it explores morality, mortality, and free will in a world where death has been eliminated.
“A world with no hunger, no disease, no war, no misery. Humanity has conquered all those things — even death. Now scythes are the only ones who can end life — and they are commanded to do so to control the population.”
Citra and Rowan are chosen to apprentice to a scythe — a job neither of them wants. What follows is a test of loyalty, survival, and the ethics of power.
