The following is how I reacted to this book on another one of my blogs, What is the Librarian Reading?Main Character: Conner, Risa, and Lev
Location:
Time period: Not too distant future
Genre: YA Fiction, Dystopian Society
WOW! This book is a stand-out! Set in a not-to-distant future in which teenagers between 13 and 18 years old could be "unwound"--taken apart for organ transplants--three young people fight to stay alive. It's told from multiple POVs so we see the events through the eyes of Conner, Risa, and Lev, as well as some of the other kids and the few adults who interact with them. There is a scene which depicts an "unwinding" which is just terrifying in its matter-of-factness.
