Series: Unwind Dystology
Book: Unwind #1
Author: Neal Shusterman
Genre: Science Fiction
Characters: Connor Lassiter, Risa Ward, Levi Lev Calder, Cyrus
CyFi 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
childs organs are harvested and are transplanted into different
donors. So, technically speaking, their lives dont 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 isnt 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.

Because of Connor, Lev, and Risa -- and their explosive revolt -people can no longer turn their backs on unwinding. Unwinding has
become a big business, and there are powerful political businesses that
are interested in seeing it strive and expand by unwinding prisoners and
the poor people. A business called, Proactive Citizenry, has created a

Characters: Connor Lassiter, Lev Calder, Camus Comprix, and Risa
Ward.
Lev and Connor are on the run since the Graveyard, the last safe
haven for AWOL unwinds, was destroyed. But theyre not running away
from something, theyre running towards answers, a woman from
Proactive Citizenry who has been completely erased from history. They
may discover the key to ending unwinding forever. Camus is planning to
take down the organization that created him, so that he can prove to
Risa that his feelings for her are real. And without Risa, Camus feels
very disconnected from humanity. The paths of Connor, Lev, Camus,
and Risa will converge explosively, and everyone will be changed.

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. Starkeys group of storked teens is growing more powerful and
militant with each new recruit. And if they have their way, theyll burn the harvest camps to the
ground and put every adult in them before a firing squadwhich could destroy any chance
America has for a peaceful future.
