Unwind by Neal Shusterman


Connor, Risa and Lev are running for their lives. This story is set in a futuristic society and centers around three teenagers who have been scheduled to be "unwound."  The Second Civil War was fought over reproductive rights and the chilling resolution: life can not be violated from the moment of conception until the age of thirteen. However, parents are allowed  to sign an order for their children between the ages of thirteen and eighteen years old to be unwound—taken to "harvest camps" and having their body parts harvested for later use. Kids can be unwound for many reasons. Connor is too difficult for his parents to control, Risa is a ward of the state and not talented enough to be kept alive, and Lev was conceived and raised for the sheer purpose of being unwound. Together, the teens take on society as they run for their lives. They discover an underground system saving countless teenagers from being unwound. Will they survive to the age of 18 when they can no longer be unwound? Read UNWIND along with me to find out!
