McMann, Lisa The Unwanteds, 390 p. Aladdin (Simon), 2011. $17.
Violence: PG (fighting).
The people of Quill are divided into Wanted, Necessary and Unwanteds. At 13, if you are Unwanted, then off you are sent to the Eliminators – there to disappear forever. Or so they think. Instead, Alex and the other Unwanteds find themselves in a wonderful, secret world where their talents are celebrated and nurtured. But Alex has left his twin behind and he will do anything in order to let Aaron know about this wonderful world. Even if it means the end of everything good he has ever known.
McMann has spun a wonderous tale that will make you shout and cheer and maybe even tie your stomach in knots.
