In a world where disease, war and crime have been eliminated, the only way to die is to be randomly killed ("gleaned") by professional scythes. Citra and Rowan are teenagers who have been selected to be scythes' apprentices, and despite wanting nothing to do with the vocation, they must learn the art of killing and understand the necessity of what they do.Only one of them will be chosen as a scythe's apprentice and as Citra and Rowan come up against a terrifyingly corrupt Scythedom, it becomes clear that the winning apprentice's first task will be to glean the loser.

Shusterman explores a world where all of our 21st Century problems have been erradicated. No more poverty, sickness, climate crisis or natural disasters. Death is now under the control of an elite order of Scythes. Citra and Rowan, two young apprentice Sythes soon begin to realise the cracks in the system as corruption bleeds into the foundations of this new utopia. - Orah (QBD)

Humanity has conquered all the world's problems. Poverty, sickness and even death are just blurry memories from the Age of Mortality. Now, Scythes are responsible for keeping the human population under control. But, the Sythedom is growing corrupt and threatening to tople this utopic society. A fantastic YA dystopian for fan's of The Hunger Games. Perfect for people who love to read a great YA dystopian without all the cringey love triangles. Made me look at the human experience with a fresh perspective. - Orah (QBD)

Untitled
Shusterman has hit the mark with Scythe. A world where accidental or natural death does not exist, and a story of two apprentice grim reapers when only one can get the job in the end, full of intrigue and moments that will have you shrieking, laughing, and crying. I live and breathe this book. - Paige (QBD)
