Unwind By Neal Shusterman
What do Conner, Risa, and Lev all have in common? They are all considered unwinds. What exactly is an unwind? An unwind is a kid between the ages of 13 and 18 who has been deemed by their parents to be unfit to go on in their current state, or who has pledged their life as a tribute for their religion. Basically, they will be taken away, and their body parts harvested. What would you do if you were to be unwound?
Recommended for grades 8 and up.
