Series of the Week Series: Unwind Dystology Book: Unwind #1 Author: Neal Shusterman Genre: Science Fiction Characters: Connor Lassiter, Risa Ward, Levi “Lev” Calder, Cyrus “Cy. Fi” Finch, and Roland. In this dystopian society, unwanted children between the ages of 13 and 18 can be “unwound, ” which is when all of the child’s organs are harvested and are transplanted into different donors. So, technically speaking, their lives don’t end. This is what the second Civil War was fought over: reproductive rights. Connor is just too much for his parents to handle. Risa is a ward of the state that just isn’t “enough” to be kept alive. Lev, on the other hand, is a tithe, which means that he was pretty much born and raised to be unwound. With help from each other, they might just have a chance to survive.

Author: Neal Shusterman has 4, 888 fans on goodreads. Genre: Science Fiction rating: 4. 55 out of 5; 1, 587 rated. Summary: Teens control the fate of America in the fourth and final book in the New York Times bestselling Unwind dystology by Neal Shusterman. Proactive Citizenry, the company that created Cam from the parts of unwound teens, has a plan: to mass produce rewound teens like Cam for military purposes. And below the surface of that horror lies another shocking level of intrigue: Proactive Citizenry has been suppressing technology that could make unwinding completely unnecessary. As Conner, Risa, and Lev uncover these startling secrets, enraged teens begin to march on Washington to demand justice and a better future. But more trouble is brewing. Starkey’s group of storked teens is growing more powerful and militant with each new recruit. And if they have their way, they’ll burn the harvest camps to the ground and put every adult in them before a firing squad—which could destroy any chance America has for a peaceful future.
