Neal Shusterman

From the staff: If you’ve never read books by young adult novelist, Neal Shusterman, you are missing an amazing reading experience. Whether he’s telling stories of Antsy, a kid in New York City, the incredible world of Everlost that exists between life and death, or the morally grey world of UNWIND AND Unwholly, he tells stories that you simply cannot put down, whether you’re a teenager or an adult. – Cathy About the Author: Neal Shusterman is the author of many novels for young adults, including UNWIND, which was an ALA Best Book for Young Adults and a Quick Pick for Reluctant Young Readers; THE SKINJACKER TRILOGY; and DOWNSIDERS, which was nominated for twelve state reading awards. He also writes screenplays for motion pictures and television shows such as Animorphs and Goosebumps. The father of four children, Neal lives in southern California. Visit him at StoryMan.com. Book: Thanks to Connor, Lev, and Risa—and their high-profile revolt at Happy Jack Harvest Camp—people can no longer turn a blind eye to unwinding. Ridding society of troublesome teens while simltaneously providing much-needed tissues for transplant might be convenient, but its morality has finally been brought into question. However, unwinding has become big business, and there are powerful political and corporate interests that want to see it not only continue, but also expand to the unwinding of prisoners and the impoverished. Cam is a product of unwinding; made entirely out of the parts of other unwinds, he is a teen who does not technically exist. A futuristic Frankenstein, Cam struggles with a search for identity and meaning and wonders if a rewound being can have a soul. And when the actions of a sadistic bounty hunter cause Cam’s fate to become inextricably bound with the fates of Connor, Risa, and Lev, he’ll have to question humanity itself. Rife with action and suspense, Unwholly, this riveting companion to the perennially popular UNWIND, challenges assumptions about where life begins and ends—and what it means to live. What: Neal Shusterman will discuss and sign Unwholly, his new book for young adults.

Then, you tell us what you think. We also read one published book each month. Call the store to find out about joining the club. 612-920-5005 Our next meeting will be Saturday, April 24th at 5:30PM. This month, our published book is Hero Type by Barry Lyga, and our ARCs are The Keening by A. LaFaye and Bruiser by Neal Shusterman. (omayao)… (more)
