Unwind

• “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.”–“Publishers Weekly, “starred review“The shocking premise is unveiled immediately, and a nail-biting pace is sustained throughout, with the teens flung headlong into a true life-or-death struggle…these haunting debates will likely linger in the reader’s mind even after the riveting plot fades…an ideal blend of philosophy and action set in a compelling futuristic landscape.”–“The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books”* “A thought-provoking, well-paced read that will appeal widely.”–“School Library Journal”, starred review“Following in the footsteps of Jonathan Swift, Shusterman uncorks a Modest Proposal of his own to solve a Pro-Life/Pro-Choice dilemma…ingeniously developed cast and premise.”–“Booklist”“Nail-biting, character-driven thriller.”–“The Horn Book”“Poignant, compelling, and ultimately terrifying, this book will enjoy popularity with a wide range of readers.”–“VOYA”, 4Q4P“The power of the novel lies in what it doesn’t do: come down explicitly on one side or the other.”–“The New York Times Book Review”“Well-written, this draws the readers into a world that is both familiar and strangely foreign, and generates feelings of horror, disturbance, disgust and fear. As with classics such as “1984” and “Fahrenheit 451”, one can only hope that this vision of the future never becomes reality.“–“Kirkus Reviews”
