The List
by Patricia Forde
Letta lives in a society formed after catastrophic events killed millions of people and wiped out technology. In order to try and regulate things words are limited and speech must be formed of words from a limited allowed list. Letta is an apprentice wordsmith, until her mentor dies and she becomes 'the' wordsmith. She gets involved with a revolution, almost unknowingly at first, and is instrumental in preventing a mass homicide.
The plot of this was book was intriguing and a little disturbing, with some very clear ethical messages thrown in. Letta is an interesting, strong character, I'm looking forward to watching her develop in future adventures. An excellent middle grade read with action, thrills, a burgeoning romance just hinted at and a few tears too.
