Two teens must learn the "art of killing" in this Printz Honor-winning book, the first in a chilling new series from Neal Shusterman, author of the New York Times bestselling Unwind dystology.
A world with no hunger, no disease, no war, no misery: humanity has conquered all those things, and has even conquered death. Now Scythes are the only ones who can end life--and they are commanded to do so, in order to keep the size of the population under control.
Citra and Rowan are chosen to apprentice to a scythe--a role that neither wants. These teens must master the "art" of taking life, knowing that the consequence of failure could mean losing their own.
Scythe is the first novel of a thrilling new series by National Book Award-winning author Neal Shusterman in which Citra and Rowan learn that a perfect world comes only with a heavy price.

Young witchlin Filly Tucker has a problem. In order to earn her
wand, she must master her basic spells before her tenth birthday.
In a cozy cottage where she lives with her Grandma-a famous witch
extraordinaire-and her ornery magic cat, Tabasco, Filly struggles
to get even the simplest spell right. One afternoon, as Filly
arrives home from rolling down grassy hills with her friends, she
discovers a large cardboard box outside her front door-waiting to
transport her to the home of the terrible Twissle twins, known for
their unruly, madcap lifestyle and obnoxious spells. As the Twissle
twins rely on their horrid personalities and crazy tricks to create
green meatballs, coax a dozen Canadian geese to soar around the
chandelier, and convince a cat who thinks he is a cowboy to ride
around the room on the back of a flying Dalmatian dog, Filly
realizes she should have paid better attention while learning her
spells. Filly quickly learns that it is up to her to make things
right, but she needs to master her spells first. Only time will
tell if Filly Tucker will ever earn her wand.

For decades, the southern states have witnessed the relentless
migration of vagabonds from Mexico. They are now found as far north
as the Ozarks of southern Missouri. No one knows why they keep
traveling north, ever northward. Until now. In the tradition of
Charlotte's Web or The Underneath comes the American fantasy,
VAGABONDS, the saga of El Garro's armadillo colony, the scouts and
pioneers who have always been at the forefront of the migration.
Rumors from their original homeland, the jungles far to the south,
indicate that El Garro's colony may be nearing the fabled Faralone
Falls, where they will find the answer to why they have traveled
northward for decades. Galen must leave the comfort of his den and
lead the search party. Accompanying him are Tex, a representative
of the southern clans, Corrie, who is El Garro's daughter, and
Blaze, the barn owl. Galen's quest for answers plays out against
the background of the armadillo colony who has never before
challenged their nomadic way of life. VAGABONDS is an American
fantasy set in the Ozark mountains. Like El Garro's clan, we are a
nation of immigrants, people who have known the sacrifice of
leaving everything behind in hopes of finding a future and a hope
for their families.
