"Unwind" by Neal Shusterman


"In a society where unwanted teens are salvaged for their body parts, three runaways fight the system that would 'unwind' them." Three teens, Conner, Risa, and Lev, are all going to be unwound. Conner caused a lot of trouble ad his parents didn't want a child like that in their family. Risa is an orphan, the government doesn't want to pay so much for her to be taken care of. And Lev was signed up to be unwound before birth. In a very unlikely experience all three of the teen meet, and stay together to help one another. In order to live, they must get to their eighteenth birthdays, but with a country that wants every teen unwound from their heads to their toes, eighteen doesn't seem like it's going to happen anytime soon. After being shipped from one safe house to another, they finally get to the graveyard, literally a graveyard for airplanes. In a steamy desert where anyone could die of heat stroke, there are plenty of rules, and a killer, they might just live. Neal Shusterman, author of Everlost, has made the most thrilling, scary, and ominous story of all-time.

"Specials" by Scott Westerfeld


The main characters in this book are Tally, Shay, Fausto, Tachs, Ho, David, and Dr. Cable. The setting where this book took place is Uglyville, New Smoke and Diego. The summary of main events are after Shay and Tally's last operation to become a Special they are now living in the wild looking for any Uglies or Pretties they can make special. Something went wrong and Shay and some others were being operated on to despecialize them. Tally managed to change Dr. Cable. Now she lives in the wild with David. She is free. When I finished the book I was left thinking about was if Tally and David would ever catch up with the others or if they would be on their own from now on. I would recommend it beecause you never knew what was going to happen next. I would rate this book 5 stars. MUST READ!!!!
