This is one of our most popular books, and rightly so. Scythe is a fantastic dystopia exploring what society might do if there was no death....there would be too many of us right?  Rowan and Citra are only teenagers when they are selected to become apprentice Scythes, the only ones who can kill (read population control...).  Scythe is first book in a trilogy. If you love it, as many do, go on to read Thunderhead and The Toll.

This great 'self-help' book by Kiwi clinical psychologist Dr Gwendoline Smith is a really great introduction to how our brains work. I feel the more we know about our emotions and how we do, or can react to things, is a great life skill which can help us immensely. Very readable and aimed at teens.

This is a combination of horror, science fiction, dystopia and good old adventure! Luka Kane (16) has been inside The Loop for over two years. Every inmate is serving a death sentence with the option to push back their execution date by six months if they opt into "Delays", scientific and medical experiments for the benefit of the elite. But rumors of a war on the outside are spreading amongst the inmates, and before they know it, their tortuous routine becomes disrupted. The government issued rain stops falling. Strange things are happening to the guards. And it's not long until the inmates are left alone inside the prison.
