Unwind- by Neil Shusterman
WARNING! This is a very freaky book NOT recommended for childeren under thirteen.
In a futuristic society, the people believe that if you are a troubled teen, or an ophaned one, your life is not worth living. That means they unwind you- they use every part of your body and use them to save others.
Connor is a troubled teen. He has a temper the size of tomorrow. When he finds his parents are going to unwind him, he quickly gets out.
Risa- a piano prodigy but takes up too much space in the statehome. was going to be unwound but escaped off a bus.
Lev is a tithe. He has been told since birth that he was meant for this, it is God's will and he is doing his duty. He doesn't get why it is bad.
When these three teens run into each others paths, they must learn to find trust, leadership, and integrity... before they are unwound.
I loved this book! It makes you really appreciate the meaning of life. I would reccomend it to everyone, or at least encouage them to check it out. it is a neat story with a lot of twists and turns.

New School, New State Of Mind
So today was Cobb tour day. Me and Sydney went to wander around, and found that, although we had heard this our whole lives, you should never, EVER judge a book by its cover (even if your 'book' is 10000 square feet and made of brick).
The School is So Confuzzling!! (New word. You like?)
This year, I have decided to be confident and outgoing, and make new friends, even if those friends think I am a fellow sixth grader. Which I'm not. I am in eighth grade!!!!!
The theatre teacher was really really nice!!! the room has a large stage, but an extremely low ceiling.
We won't have enough money for a musical this year :'( but we can do a play!
So thats today.
Oh, and it rained and thundered, which was AWESOME!!!!!!! XDDDD
