City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau  RL 5.0

The Giver by Lois Lowry RL 5.7

Matched by Ally Condie RL 4.8

Uglies by Scott Westerfeld RL 5.2

Icebreaker by Lian Tanner  Lexile 720 (The entire society fits on a great big ship!)

 

Teachers at my school also use Unwanteds by Lisa McCann RL 5.7  (but there’s a healthy debate about if there is too much fantasy to be dystopian)

 

They’re all series or at least trilogies.

Subject: [CASL-L] Lower level dystopian books...

 

Hi all,

I was hoping to get some help finding lower level middle school dystopian novels, besides (and lower reading level than) Divergent, Legend, or Hunger Games. I appreciate any suggestions!

Thanks,
