Letta and the other rebels must find a way to defeat the evil for good before they lose the very thing that will set them free.Įven though I did not read the first book The List (after I requested I found out this was the second book-oops), I think this was an enticing dystopian read.

But when Letta became the Wordsmith, the keeper of all the words that have ever existed-she learned that being able to express yourself is what makes you human.Īnd now, the new ruler has wicked plans to eliminate language once and for all: If a baby never hears a single word, they will never speak. Before the rebellion, everyone could only speak List, a language of just 500 words. Words hold power-and Letta wields them fiercely in this conclusion to the ALA Notable book The List.
