Unwind by Neal Shusterman, 335 p. Simon and Schuster, 2007.
Troublemaker Connor has been sent to be unwound by his parents who are sick and tired of his grating behavior. Orphan Risa is being sent to unwinding by the overcrowded State Home system. Beloved Lev is the tenth child in his family and is being sent to unwinding as a tithe from his religious family. Their lives collide in an explosive way on their journeys.
This biting social commentary is full of heart, full of suspense, full of fascinating tension. Though the basis of the novel could be extremely controversial, the book is so "freakin' awesome" that it needs to be read far and wide.

I notice you don't have information on the "rating" or the violence and so forth.
Yes, you're right - this is one of our early reviews before we started being very specific about the content of the books. Back when I was really the only one reviewing. When we expanded the reviewers, we decided to also give more content information.
