Members of the CANDOR faction are honest, free from bias, and strive to achieve an impartial society. They believe that it is only through honesty that we can hope to achieve impartiality. To Candor members, there is no such thing as a ‘little white lie.’ Here are some titles young Candor members will treasure:
Dear Bully edited by Megan Kelly Hall and Carrie Jones
70 authors speak candidly about bullying. No sugar-coating allowed!
Don’t Breathe a Word by Holly Cupola
This powerful novel explores the power of speaking the truth.
The Whole Truth by Kit Pearson
Polly learns that honesty is always the best policy in this new Canadian classic from beloved Kid’s Lit icon Kit Pearson.
oohhh these books are awesome! i want t o read “don’t breath a word”right now… it sounds AWESOME!!!! I think Across the universe would be a wonderful read for the candors 🙂
Pants on Fire by Meg Cabot
When I think of honesty the first thing that comes to mind is when Harry Potter (I think that it was in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix) when he gets the scar on the back of his hand that reads, “I must not tell lies”.
I think that Candor would read The Maze Runner series by James Dashner as a cautionary tale about a world where everything is lies.
I think Delirium by Lauren Oliver would be a good Candor book as it’s about a society built on lies.
Just Listen by Sarah Dessen
Liar by Justine Larbalestier
Lying by Sam Harris
Marcella Pixley’s FREAK
The Guardian by Joyce Sweeney <3
Wow, I really want to read Don’t Breathe A Word. I think any dystopian would fit. 😛 But in the end I decided that The Truth Machine by James Halperin is the PERFECT read for Candor.
Why We Broke Up should definitely be a Candor read. Honesty is so important in a relationship, and this story is a great example of how keeping one’s real feelings a secret can break people apart.
How about The Hate List by Jennifer Brown?
Every You, Every Me by David Levithan.
The Disenchantments by Nina LaCour
Cracked by K.M. Walton
Lauren Oliver’s Delirium
I agree with Veronica … Across the Universe would be a great pick!
The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie, Alan Bradley
Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl.
Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
Why we broke up by Daniel Handler
