Crossed (367 Pages)
This is Ally Condie's sequel to Matched, and it will not disappoint the reader who enjoyed the first book. Once again dystopian society and a continuation of characters Cassia and Ky, the story is told from both characters' points of view. Even Xander enters the plot with a few surprises of his own! Cassia is determined to make her way to Ky, for whom she has deep feelings of love. But she was supposed to be matched with Xander, the boy she grew up with, the boy who knows her, the boy she knows and loves...Many of your students will be interested in Cassia's decisions in this sequel, and there can be some lively discussion. So now we have a 2 book series for dystopian book clubs with at least 3 different series. Hmmm, how to handle that?
