Beschreibung

<b>In a society where unwanted teens are salvaged for their body parts, three runaways fight the system that would 'unwind' them. Perfect for fans of THE HUNGER GAMES.</b><br><br> Unwinding: the process by which a child is both terminated and yet kept alive. Unwinding is now a common, and accepted, practice in society.<br><br><b>Connor's</b> parents want to be rid of him because he's a troublemaker.<br><b>Risa</b> has no parents and is being unwound to cut orphanage costs.<br><b>Lev's</b> unwinding has been planned since his birth as part of his family's strict religion.<br><br> Brought together by chance, and kept together by desperation, these unlikely companions make a harrowing cross-country journey, knowing their lives hang in the balance.<br><br> If they can survive until their 18th birthday, they can't be harmed - but when every piece of them, from their hands to their hearts, is wanted by a world gone mad, eighteen seems far, far away...<br><br> "Gripping, brilliantly imagined futuristic thriller… The issues raised could not be more provocative - the sanctity of life, the meaning of being human - while the delivery could hardly be more engrossing or better aimed to teens."<i><b>Publishers Weekly</b></i><b>, starred review</b><br> "A thought-provoking, well-paced read that will appeal widely"<b><i>School Library Journal</i>, starred review</b><br> "A breathless tale turning pages for teenage boys, as it challenges not just where life begins and ends, but what it means to be alive." <b><i>Educ8</i> magazine</b><br> "a powerful, shocking, and intelligent novel... It's wonderful, wonderful stuff." <b>The Bookbag</b><br> "This is the kind of rare book that makes the hairs on your neck rise up. It is written with a sense of drama that should get it instantly snapped up for film." <b><i>The Times</i></b><br><br><b>Also by Neal Shusterman:</b><br><i>Everlost<br> Everwild<br> Everfound<br> UnStrung<br> Unwholly<br> Unsouled<br> Undivided</i>
