In a dystopian future, the Second American Civil War has led to a chilling resolution: 'unwinding'. Between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, parents can choose to 'retroactively abort' their children, provided the child does not technically die. This socially accepted process involves transplanting the teenager's organs to different recipients. Connor, a troubled boy; Risa, an orphan without the talent needed to survive state cuts; and Lev, a 'tithe' raised to be unwound as an offering to God, find themselves on the run together. Can they escape their fate and survive in a world that considers them expendable?
Neal Shusterman is an American writer of young adult fiction. He won the 2015 National Book Award for Young People's Literature for his book Challenger Deep and his novel, Scythe, was a 2017 Michael L. Printz Honor book.
