Dystopian Book Club

<p><strong>Dystopian Novel Book Club</strong></p>
<p>What is a Dystopian Novel?  Think <i>The Hunger Games</i>, <i>Maze Runner</i>, or <i>Divergent</i>.  In a dystopia the world as we know it has ended and there is either no government or an incredibly oppressive and controlling one.  Characters are up against unthinkable odds and they must break to norm to survive and bring peace to all. If you enjoy Dystopian novels and want to escape reality for a bit, join our Dystopian Novel Book club.</p>
<p>In our club, you can pick from one of 5 books at varying levels.  Each book is about a different fictional dystopian world. You will read about that world on your own and discuss weekly with your peers.  I can’t wait to read and discuss with you!</p>
<p><strong>Books to choose from:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Among the Hidden Shadow Children</strong></p>
<p>Luke has never been to school. He's never had a birthday party, or gone to a friend's house for an overnight. In fact, Luke has never had a friend.</p>
<p>Luke is one of the shadow children, a third child forbidden by the Population Police. He's lived his entire life in hiding, and now, with a new housing development replacing the woods next to his family's farm, he is no longer even allowed to go outside.</p>
<p>Then, one day Luke sees a girl's face in the window of a house where he knows two other children already live. Finally, he's met a shadow child like himself. Jen is willing to risk everything to come out of the shadows -- does Luke dare to become involved in her dangerous plan? Can he afford not to?</p>

When Lina finds part of an ancient message, she’s sure it holds a secret that will save the city. Now, she and her friend Doon must race to figure out the clues to keep the lights on. If they succeed, they will have to convince everyone to follow them into danger. But if they fail? The lights will burn out and the darkness will close in forever.</p>

<p>Nobody but Rachel and her mother, who went to live there after Rachel's dad died in the last war. It's a safe, quiet life. Until Rachel finds a mysterious recorded message that can only have come from Away. The voice is asking for help.Who sent the message? Why is her mother so protective? And to what lengths is Rachel willing to go in order to do what she thinks is right?</p>

<p><strong>The Giver</strong></p>
