- drought as a result of global warming changes.. this one is really good so far, I'm about half through it!
I'd recommend
, because it deals with privilege and all that. It's set in a world where only two social classes exist, and if you're in the lower class, then you're basically a slave to the upper class.I'd also recommend
, because there's a strong theme of climate change and how humans have basically destroyed the Earth, and now they need to find a new place to live.
, too, because of droughts.
is great, too, because it's mostly based on strict social classes.
is good with climate change (pollution, mostly), though I'm not sure of anything else because I DNF'ed it.And these are all the ones I could think of at the moment.

In one of my classes, we have been assigned a project. We have to make a fifteen minute documentary about a current social contemporary issue in the media. Since I love to read, I decided to focus on how authors respond to these issues in their books. Originally I was going to focus on racism, but I've settled on picking one of two options suggested/reinforced by my Professor (he thought this was a good idea). One is global warming and the other is privilege (of which I've narrowed down to social class privilege). I'm looking up books for both and then picking whichever topic I think works best. But I need your help.
I've scowered the internet, trying to find a fantasy (or fantasy YA. Honestly whatever I can find) that has either of these issues as a theme in the book. I know some are out there. It was a big theme in the book A Shadow Bright and Burning (which, though I did not like the book, inspired the social class idea). I want books that have been published within the last few years (otherwise, I'd include The Hunger Games and the Harry Potter books since they deal with these themes).
Does anyone here have any specific recommendations? I've googled it, asked friends, and I've been struggling. It's imperative that the books are fantasy, as I'd like to keep the list to books I would read. YA Fantasy (since this is a YA group) are 100% good! :)
I'd appreciate your help. I really need to find books so I can read them, and then work on the script that's due next month.
