Also, in both stories, the main characters slowly start to question the values of their respective communities. 90 Juntos por Ally Condie (kqueue)kqueue: Another story about a 'perfect' society that is deeply flawed once you look beneath the surface. Both feature strong heroines who fight against the powers in control, and both have themes of independence and free will. 80 Un mundo feliz por Aldous Huxley (TheBentley)70 La marca del escorpión por Nancy Farmer (goodiegoodie)70 Inside Out por Maria V.

Carpenter (terriko)terriko: Great teen fiction! Gamers posits a world where everyone competes using games to define their future, while Uglies posits a world where everyone becomes pretty at 16.
