Booktalk-Unwind

UNWIND
By
Neal Shusterman

It’s a world gone mad! Unwanted teenagers are being harvested for body parts. The government and other adults are calling it being “unwound,” which sounds much nicer. Conner, Risa, and Lev are all from different backgrounds and are being unwound for different reasons. They are brought together by chance, and must help each other to escape their fate. If they can survive till age 18, they can’t be unwound. They make a harrowing cross country journey to a safe place only to be betrayed and taken to a harvest camp where they will be unwound.
What is it like to be unwound? No one knows the answer to this medical mystery because the harvesters aren’t telling! Will they really still be alive through their body parts helping other people? Will Connor and his friends survive? To find the answers, read the thought provoking story, Unwind by Neal Shusterman.
