Children of Dune

Frank Herbert · 1976 · 444 pages

Leto and Ghanima carry a desert in their blood and ancestors in their heads. Arrakis is greening. The empire is rotting. The twins have to decide whether to save the planet or save the people — and whether those are the same job.

Why we picked it

The most teenage book in the cycle: inheritance, twins, and the terror of becoming what your parents survived. Big, strange, and worth the climb.

Something to think about

How much of your family should you keep, and how much should you refuse to repeat?
