Technically the dystopian genre is a sub-group within science fiction (i.e. dystopians are a form of science fiction, but not all science fiction is dystopian). I would argue The Host fits in this list, but not so much I am Number Four.

Hi Linda,
Any goodreads librarian can delete books from a list - however, most won't do so without a request from the listowner asking for the deletion.
If you want specific books removed, you can post in the goodreads librarians group and ask for help there, and list the books you want removed. The next available librarian will help you.

Hoping someone can help name this book!:) I read the first and third book in middle school and it's about a group of kids that had to flee to woods because their city was taken over? Or something had happened in their town so they had to hide in the woods And they continued to sneak back for supplies and what not. I wish I could remember more and at least know the what the series of books were called. I would really appreciate it! ;)

Thank you so much for this list! Hunger Games are currently my favorite book series and Scythe by Neal Shusterman is a close second. I have been looking for dystopian finds similar to these amazing books and I'm sure I'll find some more on here. If anyone else has any more suggestions, I will certainly look them up! Thanks again.
