On My Wishlist:




Unwind (Unwind, #1)
Title: Unwind (Unwind Trilogy #1)
Author: Neal Shusterman
ebook:
Pages: 352
Published: June 2nd 2009
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Books For Young Readers







Goodreads synopsis:




Connor, Risa, and Lev are running for their lives.

The Second Civil War was fought over reproductive rights. The chilling resolution: Life is inviolable from the moment of conception until age thirteen. Between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, however, parents can have their child "unwound," whereby all of the child's organs are transplanted into different donors, so life doesn't technically end. Connor is too difficult for his parents to control. Risa, a ward of the state is not enough to be kept alive. And Lev is a tithe, a child conceived and raised to be unwound. Together, they may have a chance to escape and to survive.





Why did I choose Unwind for this weeks Wishlist Wednesday?



Unwind sounds like a very intriguing read. The children's organs are transplanted into different donors. Who are these donors? Why do they transplant their organs? Why would they even want to do this to their own children?
