Two teens must learn the “art of killing” in the first book in a chilling new series from Neal Shusterman, author of the New York Times best selling Unwind dystology.

In a world where disease has been eliminated, the only way to die is to be randomly killed (“gleaned”) by professional reapers (“scythes”). Citra and Rowan are teenagers who have been selected to be scythe’s apprentices, and despite wanting nothing to do with the vocation, they must learn every method of ending life and come to understand the necessity of what they do.

Only one of them will be chosen as a scythe’s apprentice. And when it becomes clear that the winning apprentice’s first task will be to glean the loser, Citra and Rowan are pitted against each other in a fight for their lives.

Hope this helps.

Dear Sujon,

In my last letter I promised that I would tell you how I had enjoyed my summer vacation in May 2015. Actually that was quite a thrilling experience for me. I still savour the memory when I have idle time. It seems to me that just yesterday I travelled to my uncle’s home located at the foothills of Rangamati.

I think that it is the most beautiful part of Bangladesh. It is such a place where the glossy water, the blue sky and the hilltops shrouded with green trees met in harmony. Its beauty infatuated me when my first day dawned there. Despite the sultry weather I enjoyed a lot.

The rowing of the boat in a winding course on the hill-barricaded lake water, the excitement of catching fish, the plucking of fruits and flowers from the groves - all filled my heart with silent ecstasy. I wish I could spend my whole life there. No more today. Wishing you all the best. Best dog loveer ever

Yours ever,

Sultan
