THE UNWANTEDS (book 1)
By: Lisa McMann
Genres: Magic, Fantasy, Dystopian and Adventure For ages: 9 - 12 In the book The Unwanteds by Lisa McMann, twin brothers Alex and Aaron live in a strange town called Quill. Every year in Quill the 13 year olds are sorted in to three groups, the Wanteds, the Necessaries and the artistic Unwanteds. While the Unwanteds are sent to their deaths, the Wanteds are to attend university and the Necessaries to do all the labor work in Quill. On the day of the choosing (called the Purge) the twins wait in anticipation to learn their fate. Will Alex and Aaron succeed in becoming Wanteds when their parents are both lowly Necessaries or will fate drive them apart? I thought this book was a little bit like Harry Potter (Book 1) (I can't tell you why, because it would give away both books). I fully enjoyed the book and was very sad once I had finished. To me every part of the book had excitement and you could really tell that Lisa McMann put a lot of thought into each page. I would rate this book: Must Read Five Stars * * * * * |
