The Unwanteds by Lisa McMann



The Unwanteds will draw you in on the first sentence. It is probably a book you have never heard of, (unless you know me in real life but...) which I don't get why no one has heard of it, it's amazing. Anyway, The Unwanteds is about a pair of twins, Alex and Aaron Stowe, who are as different as anyone can possibly be. They live in a land called Quill where creativity is a sin. When you turn 13, if you had shown signs of creativity, you have to go to the Great Lake of  Boiling Oil, to be purged, aka killed. When it is Alex and Aaron's day, they find out that Alex is an Unwanted and to be purged, and Aaron is a Wanted, their relationship might never be the same. Alex now has to face the Lake of Boiling Oil, and the Death Farm. But when he gets there, he finds out that there is no lake, nor death farm, but a magical land called Artimé (Ha Phillip I got the é). Artimé is a place which thrives on creativity, and it is a colorful, magical, wonderful place. Alex starts learning the creative magic that they use, and soon becomes very good at it. But, Aaron is slowly gaining more power in Quill, and this might just pin brother against brother in a battle. Maybe somehow Alex will find a way to save both worlds. After all, he is Unwanted, which might be the best thing you can be in this moment.
