Book Pick List (for Teens)- Dystopian Science Fiction
Summer Reading Club registration begins on June 1 and is a fun, no-pressure way to get rewarded for reading throughout the months of June and July, with every five books banking you a cool prize! If you're looking for some book suggestions (TEENS! We're talking to YOU!), we've got you covered with some Book Pick Lists touting some of the fresh, new titles on our shelves. Today's list focuses on Kiera Cass' dystopian sci-fi series, The Selection.
The Selection (#1) by Kiera Cass- For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in a palace and compete for the heart of gorgeous Prince Maxon.
But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her. Leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks.
Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself--and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.
The Elite (#2) by Kiera Cass- Thirty-five girls came to the palace to compete in the Selection. All but six have been sent home. And only one will get to marry Prince Maxon and be crowned princess of Illea.
America still isn’t sure where her heart lies. When she’s with Maxon, she’s swept up in their new and breathless romance, and can’t dream of being with anyone else. But whenever she sees Aspen standing guard around the palace, and is overcome with memories of the life they planned to share. With the group narrowed down to the Elite, the other girls are even more determined to win Maxon over—and time is running out for America to decide.
Just when America is sure she’s made her choice, a devastating loss makes her question everything again. And while she’s struggling to imagine her future, the violent rebels that are determined to overthrow the monarchy are growing stronger and their plans could destroy her chance at any kind of happy ending.
The One (#3) by Kiera Cass- (To be released in 2014.)
The Prince (prequel) by Kiera Cass- Before thirty-five girls were chosen to compete in the Selection... before Aspen broke America's heart...there was another girl in Prince Maxon's life...
Don't miss this thrilling 128-page original novella set in the world of the New York Times bestselling novel The Selection. (The library doesn't currently own this title, though we have it on our list!)
