In a society where unwanted teens are salvaged for their body
parts, three runaways fight the system that would 'unwind' them.
Perfect for fans of THE HUNGER GAMES. Unwinding: the process by
which a child is both terminated and yet kept alive. Unwinding is
now a common, and accepted, practice in society. Connor's parents
want to be rid of him because he's a troublemaker. Risa has no
parents and is being unwound to cut orphanage costs. Lev's
unwinding has been planned since his birth as part of his family's
strict religion. Brought together by chance, and kept together by
desperation, these unlikely companions make a harrowing
cross-country journey, knowing their lives hang in the balance. If
they can survive until their 18th birthday, they can't be harmed -
but when every piece of them, from their hands to their hearts, is
wanted by a world gone mad, eighteen seems far, far away...
"Gripping, brilliantly imagined futuristic thriller... The issues
raised could not be more provocative - the sanctity of life, the
meaning of being human - while the delivery could hardly be more
engrossing or better aimed to teens."Publishers Weekly, starred
review "A thought-provoking, well-paced read that will appeal
widely"School Library Journal, starred review "A breathless tale
turning pages for teenage boys, as it challenges not just where
life begins and ends, but what it means to be alive." Educ8
magazine "a powerful, shocking, and intelligent novel... It's
wonderful, wonderful stuff." The Bookbag "This is the kind of rare
book that makes the hairs on your neck rise up. It is written with
a sense of drama that should get it instantly snapped up for film."

As a star player on his high school American football team, Ash is used to taking some hard hits. But that one run in his last game must have knocked him a little loose, because suddenly his life doesn’t look quite the way he remembers it.
As Ash bounces into worlds that are almost-but-not-really his own, he starts to question everything, including his own perceptions and place in his own reality. But can he even work out how to get back there?
The New York Times bestselling Arc of a Scythe series continues
with thrilling stories that span the timeline. Storylines continue.
Origin stories are revealed. And new Scythes emerge... There are
still countless tales of the Scythedom to tell. Centuries passed
between the Thunderhead cradling humanity and Scythe Goddard trying
to turn it upside down. For years humans lived in a world without
hunger, disease, or death with Scythes as the living instruments of
population control. Neal Shusterman – along with collaborators

Michelle Knowlden, and Joelle Shusterman – returns to the world

secrets and histories of characters you’ve followed for three
volumes and meet new heroes, new foes, and some figures in between.
Gleanings shows just how expansive, terrifying, and thrilling the
world that began with the Printz Honor-winning Scythe truly is.
Sixteen-year-old Blake has always been the responsible one in his
dysfunctional family -- the one who drives safely, gets good
grades, and looks after his wild younger brother, Quinn. Quinn is
his brother's opposite -- a thrill-seeker who's always chasing the
next scary rush, no matter what the cost. But Quinn and Blake are
in for the surprise of their lives when they're thrust into the
world of a bizarre phantom carnival -- and their souls are the
price of admission.
In order to save his brother, and himself, Blake must survive seven
different carnival rides before dawn. Seven rides...it sounds easy.
But each ride is full of unexpected dangers, because each ride is a
reflection of one of Blake's deepest fears. And the last ride is
the worst one of all. Because that's the one that confronts Blake
with a terrifying secret from his past -- a secret he's been
running from for years.
Full of roller-coaster twists and turns, Neal Shusterman's latest
page-turner is an Orpheus-like adventure into one boy's psyche.
Teens fight for their humanity in this thrilling third book in the
"New York Times" bestselling Unwind dystology by Neal Shusterman.
Connor and Lev are on the run after the destruction of the
Graveyard, the last safe haven for AWOL Unwinds. But for the first
time, they're not just running away from something. This time,
they're running towards answers, in the form of a woman Proactive
Citizenry has tried to erase from history itself. If they can find
her, and learn why the shadowy figures behind unwinding are so
afraid of her, they may discover the key to bringing down unwinding
forever.
Cam, the rewound boy, is plotting to take down the organization
that created him. He knows that if he can bring Proactive Citizenry
to its knees, it will show Risa how he truly feels about her. And
without Risa, Cam is having trouble remembering what it feels like
to be human.
With the Juvenile Authority and vindictive parts pirates hunting
them, their paths will converge explosively--and everyone will be
changed.
Neal Shusterman continues the adventure that VOYA called "poignant,
compelling, and ultimately terrifying."

When the California drought escalates to catastrophic proportions, a group of teens is forced to make life and death decisions in this harrowing story of survival from New York Times bestselling author Neal Shusterman, and Jarrod Shusterman.
The drought – or the Tap-Out, as everyone calls it – has been going on for a while now. Everyone’s lives have become an endless list of don’ts: don’t water the lawn, don’t take long showers, don't panic.
Until the taps run dry.
Suddenly, Alyssa’s quiet suburban street spirals into a warzone of desperation; neighbours and families turned against each other on the hunt for water. And when her parents don’t return, she and her younger brother must team up with an unlikely group in search of water. Each of them will need to make impossible choices to survive.
In America after the Second Civil War, the Pro-Choice and Pro-Life
armies came to an agreement: The Bill of Life states that human
life may not be touched from the moment of conception until a child
reaches the age of thirteen. Between the ages of thirteen and
eighteen, however, a parent may choose to retroactively get rid of
a child through a process called "unwinding." Unwinding ensures
that the child's life doesn't "technically" end by transplanting
all the organs in the child's body to various recipients. Now a
common and accepted practice in society, troublesome or unwanted
teens are able to easily be unwound.
With breathtaking suspense, this book follows three teens who all
become runaway Unwinds: 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. As their paths
intersect and lives hang in the balance, Shusterman examines
serious moral issues in a way that will keep readers turning the
pages to see if Connor, Risa, and Lev avoid meeting their untimely
ends.
Rife with action and suspense, this riveting companion to the
perennially popular "Unwind "challenges assumptions about where
life begins and ends--and what it means to live.
Thanks to Connor, Lev, and Risa--and their high-profile revolt at
Happy Jack Harvest Camp--people can no longer turn a blind eye to
unwinding. Ridding society of troublesome teens while simltaneously
providing much-needed tissues for transplant might be convenient,
but its morality has finally been brought into question. However,
unwinding has become big business, and there are powerful political
and corporate interests that want to see it not only continue, but
also expand to the unwinding of prisoners and the impoverished.
Cam is a product of unwinding; made entirely out of the parts of
other unwinds, he is a teen who does not technically exist. A
futuristic Frankenstein, Cam struggles with a search for identity
and meaning and wonders if a rewound being can have a soul. And
when the actions of a sadistic bounty hunter cause Cam's fate to
become inextricably bound with the fates of Connor, Risa, and Lev,
he'll have to question humanity itself.

Beneath the sewer grates and manholes of the city lies a strange
and secret world called the Downside. Every Downsider knows that
it's forbidden to go Topside, and most fear a collision of the two
worlds. But fourteen-year-old Talon is curious about what goes on
above ground, and one day he ventures out in search of medicine for
his ailing sister. There he meets Lindsay, who is as curious about
Talon's world as he is about hers. When Lindsay visits the Downside
for the first time, she marvels at the spirit of the Downsiders,
and the way they create works of art from topside "trash," like old
subway tokens and forgotten earrings. As awed as she is by the
Downside, however, she also questions its origins, and when she
finds out that this fantastic world is not all it appears to be,
she is determined to tell Talon the truth. Then a construction
accident threatens to crush Talon's world, and his loyalty is put
to the test. Can the truth save the Downside, or will it destroy an
entire civilization? Neal Shusterman takes readers on an amazing
journey into a place that's only a few steps away, yet beyond their
wildest dreams.
Six teens struggle to discover the source of their strange and
horrific abilities in this first book of The Star Shards

the very things that terrify her. Then, when the glare of a
supernova sixteen light-years away illuminates the night sky, they
have a vision: There are six of them out there, all teenagers, and
all suffering from supernatural afflictions that disfigure their
bodies and souls. Only by finding one another will the six ever be
strong enough to defeat these mysterious forces that, bit by bit,
are devouring their souls from the inside out.

and science fiction into an absorbing exploration of good and evil,

thrilling start to a riveting trilogy.
