June: The Girl Who Could Fly by Victoria Forester

Stephenie Meyer loved this book and I love Stephenie Meyer so...voilà!

“It’s the oddest/sweetest mix of Little House on the Prairie and X-Men. I was smiling the whole time (except for the part where I cried). I gave it to my mom, and I’m reading it to my kids—it’s absolutely multigenerational. Prepare to have your heart warmed.” —Stephenie Meyer, The Twilight Saga

I'm so bummed I never found a copy of The Alliance. I love that book!

May: The Alliance by Gerald N. Lund

Nancy asked me to post her book choice since she is without internet for a while longer."It's 18 years after the nuclear holocaust and the end of civilization, as we know it. Survivors are being relocated to a new society known as the Alliance. It seems like a dream come true for many of the new citizens. Crime, as well as harmful emotions, such as anger and prejudice have been eliminated, because the Alliance has computerized control over it's citizens from a computer chip that has been implanted in everyone. Eric Lloyd discovers the Alliance's corrupt power structure and vows to destroy it. But can one person change the world?"

This book is available on Amazon but it's listed for $17 for a paperback copy! I found a few other sites where it's available for less just by googling it. Deseret Book and Seagull Book are a good place to look if you want a hardcover for around $18. The book has been around for a long time so hopefully it's available at the library. If it proves very difficult to find for cheap (although it's worth the $18) I know she has another pick - which is the one I was thinking about for June!

Nancy would like to pose a bit of a challenge with this book as well...As we read, she thought it'd be fun to come up with a list of actors we think should play these characters if this book were made into a movie!

Have fun and happy reading!
