This week I previewed Unwind by Neal Shusterman. This is a super interesting and creepy book and is the first in a series of four. I highly recommend it!
In a society where unwanted teens are salvaged for their body parts, three runaways fight the system that would "unwind" them
Connor's parents want to be rid of him because he's a troublemaker. Risa has no parents and is being unwound to cut orphanage costs. Lev's unwinding has been planned since his birth, as part of his family's strict religion. Brought together by chance, and kept together by desperation, these three unlikely companions make a harrowing cross-country journey, knowing their lives hang in the balance. If they can survive until their eighteenth birthday, they can't be harmed -- but when every piece of them, from their hands to their hearts, are wanted by a world gone mad, eighteen seems far, far away.
Here is Shusterman talking about his inspiration for the Unwind series:
You might also be interested in a short film that was inspired by a chapter in the first book.
