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.
