The List by Patricia Forde
3.0

The List by Patricia Forde is a middle grade book based on the premise that if you control people's ability to communicate, you control their actions and hence their impact on the world. As a adult reading the book, the story has two competing forces - the power and love of language and the environmental statement on the destruction of Earth by man. It is the story of language that appeals to me but the environmental message that is at the heart of this book.
