Following the Second Civil War, between pro-choice and pro-life forces, the United States now allows parents to unwind their unwanted and difficult kids between the ages of thirteen and eighteen: Their bodies are surgically taken apart and all the organs and tissue are used in other people. Visit Neal at and /NealShusterman.In the not-too-distant future, teens Connor, Risa, and Lev are on the run for their lives. Neal is the father of four, all of whom are talented writers and artists themselves. He also writes screenplays for motion pictures and television shows.

Neal Shusterman is the New York Times bestselling author of more than 30 award-winning books for children, teens, and adults, including the Unwind dystology, the Skinjacker trilogy, Downsiders, and Challenger Deep, which won the National Book Award. As their paths intersect and lives hang in the balance, Connor, Risa, and Lev must work together to survive-and they may change the fate of America in the process. But it allows parents to get rid of their teenager through a process called “unwinding.” These kids may have nothing left to give to their families but can still give to society through the body parts that are harvested for donations.Three teens defy the system and run away from their unwinding: Connor, a rebel whose parents have ordered his unwinding Risa, a ward of the state who is to be unwound due to cost-cutting and Lev, his parents’ tenth child whose unwinding has been planned since birth as a religious tithing.
Īfter the Second Civil War, the Bill of Life was passed, stating that human life may not be touched from the moment of conception until a child reaches the age of 13. ALL FIVE BOOKS in Neal Shusterman’s New York Times bestselling Unwind Dystology ( Unwind, UnWholly, UnSouled, UnDivided, and UnBound) are getting brand new covers! Cover art by Simon Prades.
