Thunderhead by Neal Shusterman

I could not wait for the second book in this series. When I found out I would be on the long bus ride to Orlando with the band I knew exactly which book I was going to take with me.  Thunderhead is an excellent second installment in this series. It expands the story well without leading to character or plot holes. It easily kept my attention on a bus filled with middle school conversations. I am greatly looking forward to the third instalment!

The Thunderhead cannot interfere in the affairs of the Scythedom. All it can do is observe—it does not like what it sees.

A year has passed since Rowan had gone off grid. Since then, he has become an urban legend, a vigilante snuffing out corrupt scythes in a trial by fire. His story is told in whispers across the continent.

As Scythe Anastasia, Citra gleans with compassion and openly challenges the ideals of the “new order.” But when her life is threatened and her methods questioned, it becomes clear that not everyone is open to the change.

Will the Thunderhead intervene?

Or will it simply watch as this perfect world begins to unravel?
