Unwind by Neal Shusterman

In a society where unwanted teens are salvaged for their body parts, three runaways fight the system that would "unwind" them.

What a fascinating concept; it seems so logical...an ideal solution to some of our medical problems. And as a parent, I think there are times when it might seem like a feasible solution; however, this premise is horrifying. Loved the book, but I was more involved in the logic of the story than the story itself.

Rating: 9 of 10

The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks


Frankie Landau-Banks attempts to take over a secret, all-male society at her exclusive prep school, and her antics with the group soon draw some unlikely attention and have unexpected consequences that could change her life forever
I'm not sure who will read this book...most girls will not get past the first chapter; however, for the right smart girl, this will be a great read. Strong powerful young girl showing off her capabilities. Strong showing that there is more to high school than boys!
