The list book by patricia forde6/26/2023 ![]() This is a dystopian book where a great flood has covered much of Earth’s landmasses and the only civilized sanctuary is called the Ark. I don’t usually read middle grade books since they’re geared for an audience much younger than me, but I couldn’t resist the synopsis for The List. But when she uncovers a sinister plan to suppress language and rob Ark’s citizens of their power of speech, she realizes that it’s up to her to save not only words, but culture itself. On the death of her master, Letta is suddenly promoted to Wordsmith, charged with collecting and saving words. The exceptions are the Wordsmith and his apprentice Letta, the keepers and archivists of all language in their post-apocalyptic, neo-medieval world. ![]() Speak outside the approved lexicon and face banishment. In the city of Ark, speech is constrained to five hundred sanctioned words. ![]() ![]() My Rating: N/A A copy of this book was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. ![]()
