The Unwanteds
by Lisa McMann
When Alex
finds out he is Unwanted, he expects to die. That is the way of the people of
Quill. Each year, all the thirteen-year-olds are labeled as Wanted, Necessary,
or Unwanted. Wanteds get more schooling and train to join the Quillitary.
Necessaries keep the farms running. Unwanteds are set for elimination. It’s
hard for Alex to leave behind his twin, Aaron, a Wanted, but he makes peace with his fate--until
he discovers that instead of a “death farm,” what awaits him is a magical place called Artim. There, Alex and
his fellow Unwanteds are encouraged to cultivate their creative abilities and
use them magically. Everything Alex has ever known changes
before his eyes. It’s a rare, unique occurrence for twins to be divided between
Wanted and Unwanted, and as Alex and Aaron’s bond stretches across their separation, a threat arises
for the survival of Artim that will pit brother against brother in an ultimate
magical battle.
