The List
by Patricia Forde
Letta is apprentice to the Wordsmitb in a post-global warming disaster society.
Citizens of Ark, a city that ruler John Noa planned prior to the disaster, may only use words designated by the official List. Letta and her master are in charge of printing and distributing the List. When her master disappears, Letta discovers that Noa is planning something to remove language - and people - all together. Is her world a lie?
This book is so timely, with many parallels to politics today, as well as references to the biblical Noah's Ark. Hand this to readers who like City of Ember and The Giver.
