Anthem
by Ayn Rand

In the novelette Anthem, Ayn Rand presents a dark, frightening future where there is no love, no science, where individuals have no names, no independence, or values. It is the story of Equality 7-2521, whose defiant effort to break away from a society where individual thought has been labeled sinful and become his own person, marks him for death. For in Equality 7-2521’s world to even utter the word “I” is considered an extremely serious offense.

Tuck Everlasting
by Natalie Babbitt

Rarely does one find a book with such prose. Flawless in both style and structure, it is rich in imagery and punctuated with light fillips of humor. The author manipulates her plot deftly, dealing with six main characters brought together because of a spring whose waters can bestow everlasting life. . .Underlying the drama is the dilemma of the age-old desire for perpetual youth.
