[aisle] Dystopian book, no violence

Wed Feb 12 12:05:43 CST 2020

It doesn't quite fit the dystopian definition, but you might look into *Running
Out of Time *by Haddix.  It hits some of the similar aspects of the genre
and I don't recall any violence.  However, you may want to know the
family's viewpoints on vaccines before proceeding with this book.
