Description

Press release from the White Plains Public Library: November 18 2020 By Kathlyn, Teen Librarian Calling all middle and high school students for a monthly virtual book club for teens. Each month, join librarians Kat and Lauren to discuss a Project LIT book and compete against friends in a mini trivia game. On Friday, December 4th at 4 p.m., we'll discuss Scythe by Neal Shusterman. Scythe was my favorite Battle of the Books selection of all time; even my husband read the series, which is saying something. In this near-future science fiction tale, humanity has conquered death. To control population size and preserve resources, a group of public servants known as Scythes are charged with reaping a set number of souls each year. When honorable Scythe Faraday requisitions teens Rowan Damisch and Citra Terranova for a yearlong apprenticeship, the two could not be more reluctant to take on the role of Scythe. Which one will be chosen as a Scythe at the end of the year? Scythe is available as an eBook through OverDrive and in the library's print collection. To register for the Zoom event, click here.
