[AISLE-Share] Post-Apocalyptic Novel Suggestions

[Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators]

I second Scythe by Neal Shusterman. Also Unwind by him as well. Pacifica by Kristen Simmons is excellent. The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau has high interest at my school and Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken, given the movie tie-in. Renegades by Marissa Meyer might work too.

Subject: [AISLE-Share] Post-Apocalyptic Novel Suggestions

Good morning!

I had a teacher ask me this morning about book choices for lit circles with her honors freshman English classes.  The books she came up with were Legend, The Handmaid's Tale, Shadow and Bone, and The City of Ember.  She is trying to have the focus of the study be post-apocalyptic novels, and I'm trying to think of some other options for her to think about, since City of Ember has been reviewed for much younger grades and Handmaid's Tale might be too much for freshman (if you have experience with either of these choices in freshman classes please let me know how it went!).

Thanks for all your help and suggestions in advance!
