Interest: Grades 8-12.  Author: Rosemary Sutcliff. Key Award: Carnegie Medal.

Threatened by a tide of invaders, the last of the Roman Auxiliaries are to leave Britain forever. But Aquila, a young legionnaire, chooses to stay behind, in order to join the fight to save his native land. Rosemary Sutcliff is known for her highly acclaimed historical fiction. This book is part of a set of loosely-connected books—it follows The Eagle of the Ninth and The Silver Branch and precedes Sword at Sunset, but the themes in The Lantern Bearers are more complex than in the prior books. Issues of loss, estrangement, and loyalty are more complicated, pulling main characters in conflicting directions.  This book is very well written, and an excellent choice for those studying ancient Rome or Britain, slightly more mature readers (ages 14+) and for book club discussions - a readers guide is included under "Technical Specs" section.

"The system was simple. Everyone understood it. Books were for burning, along with the houses in which they were hidden." Guy Montag was a fireman whose job it was to start fires. And he enjoyed his job. He had been a fireman for ten years, and he had never questioned the pleasure of the midnight runs nor the joy of watching pages consumed by flames...never questioned anything until he met a seventeen-year-old girl who told him of a past when people were not afraid.  Then Guy met a professor who told him of a future in which people could think. And Guy Montag suddenly realized what he had to do...

Fahrenheit 451, first published in 1953, is a classic science fiction book about dystopia (where the conditions of life in a society are miserable, and characterized by human misery, poverty, oppression, violence, disease, and/or pollution).  This is one of three books considered to be the greatest books written about dystopia (the other two books are "1984" by George Orwell, and "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley).
