Lunar Chronicles

Cinder by Marissa Meyer


In a twist on the Cinderella story, Cinder is a girl living in a future 100 years after the Fourth World War. She lives with her guardian and her two daughters, helping to support the family as a mechanic. And she's a cyborg. Part human, part machine, Cinder tries to disguise what she is, and that's where she runs into trouble. When Prince Kai drops off his droid for repairs, Cinder is instantly attracted to him. But what will happen when the prince finds out she's really a cyborg? And that there are other secrets she is hiding as well? In a backdrop of a world in the middle of a pandemic and kept apart by evil forces, will their love triumph?


Scarlet by Marissa Meyer

Book two, Scarlet, introduces us to characters similar to those in Red Riding Hood. Scarlet and Wolf must try to save Scarlet’s grandmother from the wolves, but Wolf is hiding more than he is telling. When they cross paths with Cinder, who is on the run from everyone, Scarlet and Cinder must form an alliance to escape Queen Levana and her army. Both books have plenty of action, witty dialogue, and fascinating characters.
