Unwind
by Neal Shusterman
Age: Middle School-High School
First line: "There are places you can go," Arianna told him, "and a guy as smart as you has a decent chance of surviving to eighteen."
A thrilling read that follows the lives of three runaways as they flee the socially acceptable--and parental approved--"unwinding" of their bodies. While I certainly enjoyed it and the writing was very plot-driven, I just couldn't get past the concept that pro-choice people would be like "well, if parents can't choose to abort fetal tissue at the beginning of a pregnancy, then I guess we can give them the option to kill their child at 13 and have their body parts redistributed."
Regardless, I still think fans of dystopian worlds and fast-paced plots will thoroughly enjoy this read.
