Scythe by Neal Shusterman (Arc of a Scythe #1)

In a world where disease has been eliminated, the only way to die is to be randomly killed ('gleaned') by professional reapers ('scythes'). Two teens must compete with each other to become a scythe--a position neither of them wants. The one who becomes a scythe must kill the one who doesn’t.

Recommended by a UHS student.
