The Unwanteds

 By Lisa McMann

     In the magical world of Quill, creativity is not welcome, it is a crime. There are three different types of people in Quill. There are Wanteds, they are to go to the Wanteds university and they will be people in the government; the Nessecaries, they work and do chores for the Wanteds; finally, the Uwanteds, they are sent to die outside the gate at the purge. Alex is Unwanted because he was caught drawing in the ground but his twin brother is Wanted. When Alex and all the other Unwanteds are left to die they find the magical world of Atrime. In Atrime creativity is encouraged. But when Alex exposes Atrime trying to find his twin brother there is war.
     This book encourages you to be creative to go out and create. Good things happen when you are creative. It shows to stand up for what you think is right not what others do. In Quill they say you should not be creative and they punish you for it. But if you are then you can go to Atrime and have all the fun you want.
   "Welcome we've been expecting you." This quote is said by a flying tortoise in Atrime when they first get there. It is important because it shows that they will not die but will be accepted into Atrime after they were cast out of Quill. They are expecting to die but this quote shows them that they will not die and they will be saved.
     I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves reading. This book had all the good thing a book should need. I hardly could but it down once I opened it up. It always keeps you guessing and introduces new things that make it better. It is a good read for every age and is a good book to read and just immerse yourself in a different world. Also there are more books so it will keep you occupied for a while. I recommend this to any reader that needs a good book.

  1. I've seen several kids reading this series. I must say the flying cougar with wings looks interesting. It makes me wonder. Do the animals talk? Are they helping to fight the war and whose side are they on?

  3. It would really be hard not to be creative. The world relies on creativity for new technology and other inventions. The world needs creativity so I think that Atrime would be a great place.

  4. That would not be fun to not be creative. People are creative all the time in our world and if you could not be creative you would have a sad life.
