Synopsis

Teens control the fate of America in the fourth and final book in the New York Times bestselling Unwind dystology by Neal Shusterman that Horn Book Magazine calls "ambitious, insightful, and devastating--a fitting conclusion to a provocative series."

Proactive Citizenry, the company that created Cam from the parts of unwound teens, has a plan: to mass produce rewound teens like Cam for military purposes. And below the surface of that horror lies another shocking level of intrigue: Proactive Citizenry has been suppressing technology that could make unwinding completely unnecessary. As Conner, Risa, and Lev uncover these startling secrets, enraged teens begin to march on Washington to demand justice and a better future.

But more trouble is brewing. Starkey's group of storked teens is growing more powerful and militant with each new recruit. And if they have their way, they'll burn the harvest camps to the ground and put every adult in them before a firing squad--which could destroy any chance America has for a peaceful future.

"Everything culminates in an action-packed, heart-wrenching conclusion guaranteed to chill readers to the bone" (Kirkus Reviews).

About this title

Review:

"The battle for hearts and minds--and teenage body parts--winds to a dramatic close in the finale to Shusterman's darkly satiric UnWind Dystology...true page-turner like the previous books."--Booklist

"[A] lot of thought-provoking topics for discussion. The story is intriguing: a wonderful end to a unique and noteworthy series."--School Library Journal

"Shusterman's finale might be the best one in the series since the first...Everything culminates in an action-packed, heart-wrenching conclusion guaranteed to chill readers to the bone."--Kirkus Reviews

"Real recent news articles (with working links) about the present-day scientific and policy realities presaging Shusterman's imagined future punctuate the narrative...Ambitious, insightful, and devastating--a fitting conclusion to a provocative series."--Horn Book Magazine

*"The popularity of this series is warranted: it is smart, it is dark, it is riveting, and the characters are drawn with respect. Furthermore, Shusterman's series transcends the dystopian fan base. Libraries without books one through three should get them. Those who already have them, start the waiting list now."--VOYA, starred review
