Unwind

What if your parents didn't want you? What would they do to get rid of you? Well in this post apocalyptic book parents who did not want their child would just simply sign a form and agree to getting their child unwound.
Unwinding is the process where you are alive and your body parts are getting taken out one by one. Wouldn't it be scary knowing when you would die and i mean the exact day and maybe time you were going to die.
The book unwind is about three kids Connor, Risa and Lev who's parents signed the form that kids desperately want to run away from. Well... Connor, Risa and Lev are one of the many lucky unwinds out in the world. All three manage to escape and find themselves along with other unwinds around their age in the graveyard.
The graveyard is where most run away unwinds find themselves at, it is a place to keep safe and also to help unwinds reach the age of 18 without getting caught. You see, you can only get unwound between the ages 13-18, after that you cannot get unwound anymore. But before Connor, Risa and Lev find themselves in the graveyard they have to go through many challenges to make sure they do not get caught and most of all do not get unwound.
After they reach the graveyard they are pretty much safe, even though they have to work to help keep the place satisfactory for the admiral who is the boss of the graveyard. He made the graveyard what it is and what it will probably always be, unless the government of the world decides to stop unwinding all together.
All though the graveyard might seem a wonderful place for unwinds to stay, it is not. While Connor, Risa and Lev are in the graveyard there is a lot of mystery that goes on. I won't give away the mysteries that go on because i don't want to ruin a few chapters for you, if you ever decide to read this book.
Anyway the story does end up to be a happy ending for Connor, Risa and Lev but it also has a few unhappy endings for some other characters in the book.
If you decide to read this book you will most likely love it, until you read another book that completely blows your mind away so you won't be thinking about Unwind anymore, unless someone brings something up that reminds you of the book Unwind. So, there you go another fantastic book that i love, you will love if you read it and the author probably loved while he was writing it. But wait, what is that book called, well it is simply Unwind.
