Unwholly by Neal Shusterman “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 and, in the same stroke, 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 expand, allowing the unwinding of prisoners and the impoverished. Cam is a teen who does not exist. He is made entirely out of the parts of other unwinds. Cam, a 21st century Frankenstein, struggles with a search for identity and meaning, as well as the concept of his own soul, if indeed a rewound being can have one. When a sadistic bounty hunter who takes “trophies” from the unwinds he captures starts to pursue Connor, Risa and Lev, Cam finds his fate inextricably bound with theirs”– FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Connor, Lev, and Risa deal with the fallout of their rebellion in this riveting second book in the suspenseful, New York Times bestselling Unwind Dystology series by Neal Shusterman. 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 simultaneously providing much-needed organs for transplant might be convenient, but its morality has finally been brought into question. But unwinding is a 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. And the minds behind unwinding have already begun pushing its boundaries. Cam is the first “rewound,” a futuristic Frankensteins monster who does not technically exist and is made entirely out of unwinds body parts. He struggles with his identity and the question of whether he has a soul. And when the actions of a sadistic bounty hunter inextricably bind Cams fate with the those of Connor, Risa, and Lev, Cam comes to question humanity itself.

Review “A breathless, unsettling read.”–Kirkus Reviews”Readers will come to think deeply about the question of survival, and to what extremes one would go to for survival of themselves and loved ones. This book is a welcome addition to a science fiction collection, with threads of romance, adventure, and alternate universes which are closer to becoming reality. Recommended.”– “Library Media Connection””Shusterman elegantly balances the strikingly different perspectives of the three main protagonists effectively, and these dissimilar approaches to life highlight the ways in which the larger world grapples with unwinding. …The high quality of UnWholly will inspire readers to go back to see what was missed as well as stoke anticipation for the final book.”– “The Horn Book””Smart, intense, and thought provoking, this series will stick with readers.”–VOYA, 5Q”This sequel to Unwind is well worth the wait…the characters, action, and drama make it easy for readers to be drawn into the story and the weighty issues, such as what it means to be human and what it means to sacrifice for others. Several plot twists at the end not only make for a satisfying conclusion, but also expertly set the stage for the final installment of the trilogy.”– “School Library Journal” Review Quote “This sequel to Unwind is well worth the wait…the characters, action, and drama make it easy for readers to be drawn into the story and the weighty issues, such as what it means to be human and what it means to sacrifice for others. Several plot twists at the end not only make for a satisfying conclusion, but also expertly set the stage for the final installment of the trilogy.” Excerpt from Book UnWholly 1 * Starkey Hes fighting a nightmare when they come for him. A great flood is swallowing the world, and in the middle of it all, hes being mauled by a bear. Hes more annoyed than terrified. As if the flood isnt enough, his deep, dark mind has to send an angry grizzly to tear into him. Then hes dragged feetfirst out of the jaws of death and drowning Armageddon. “Up! Now! Lets go!” He opens his eyes to a brightly lit bedroom that ought to be dark. Two Juvey-cops manhandle him, grabbing his arms, preventing him from fighting back long before hes awake enough to try. “No! Stop! What is this?” Handcuffs. First his right wrist, then his left. “On your feet!” They yank him to his feet as if hes resisting–which he would, if he were more awake. “Leave me alone! Whats going on?” But in an instant hes awake enough to know exactly whats going on. Its a kidnapping. But you cant call it kidnapping when transfer papers have been signed in triplicate. “Verbally confirm that you are Mason Michael Starkey.” There are two officers. One is short and muscular, the other tall and muscular. Probably military boeufs before they took jobs as Juvey-rounders. It takes a special heartless breed to be a Juvey-cop, but to specialize as a rounder you probably need to be soulless as well. The fact that hes being rounded for unwinding shocks and terrifies Starkey, but he refuses to show it, because he knows Juvey-rounders get off on other peoples fear. The short one, who is clearly the mouthpiece of this duo, gets in his face and repeats, “Verbally confirm that you are Mason Michael Starkey!” “And why should I do that?” “Kid,” says the other rounder, “this can go down easy or hard, but either way its going down.” The second cop is more soft spoken with a pair of lips that clearly arent his. In fact, they look like they came from a girl. “The drills not so hard, so just get with the program.” He talks as if Starkey should have known they were coming, but what Unwind ever really knows? Every Unwind believes in their heart of hearts that it wont happen to them–that their parents, no matter how strained things get, will be smart enough not to fall for the net ads, TV commercials, and billboards that say things like “Unwinding: the sensible solution.” But who is he kidding? Even without the constant media blitz, Starkeys been a potential candidate for unwinding since the moment he arrived on the doorstep. Perhaps he should be surprised that his parents waited so long. Now the mouthpiece gets deep in his personal space. “For the last time, verbally confirm that you are–” “Yeah, yeah, Mason Michael Starkey. Now get out of my face, your breath stinks.” With his identity verbally confirmed, Lady-Lips pulls out a form in triplicate: white, yellow, and pink. “So is this how you do it?” Starkey asks, his voice beginning to quaver. “You arrest me? Whats my crime? Being sixteen? Or maybe its just being here at all.” “Quiet-or-we-tranq-you,” says Mouthpiece, like its all one word. A part of Starkey wants to be tranqd–just go to sleep and if hes lucky, never wake up. That way he wont have to face the utter humiliation of being torn from his life in the middle of the night. But no, he wants to see his parents faces. Or, more to the point, he wants them to see his face, and if hes tranqd, they get off easy. They wont have to look him in the eye. Lady-Lips holds the unwind order in front of him and begins to read the infamous Paragraph Nine, the “Negation Clause.” “Mason Michael Starkey, by the signing of this order, your parents and/or legal guardians have retroactively terminated your tenure, backdated to six days postconception, leaving you in violation of Existential Code 390. In light of this, you are hereby remanded to the California Juvenile Authority for summary division, also known as unwinding.” “Blah, blah, blah.” “Any rights previously granted to you by the county, state, or federal government as a citizen thereof are now officially and permanently revoked.” He folds the unwind order and shoves it into his pocket. “Congratulations, Mr. Starkey,” says Mouthpiece. “You no longer exist.” “Then why are you talking to me?” “We wont be for much longer.” They tug him toward the door. “Can I at least put on shoes?” They let him go but stay on their guard. Starkey takes his sweet time tying his shoes. Then they pull him out of his room and down the stairs. The Juvey-cops have heavy boots that intimidate the wood of the steps. The three of them sound like a herd of cattle as they go down. His parents wait in the foyer. Its three in the morning, but theyre still fully dressed. Theyve been awake all night anticipating this. Starkey sees anguish on their faces, or maybe its relief, its hard to tell. He hardens his own emotions, hiding them behind a mock smile. “Hi, Mom! Hi, Dad!” he says brightly. “Guess what just happened to me? Ill give you twenty guesses to figure it out!” His father takes a deep breath, preparing to launch into the Great Unwinding Speech that every parent prepares for a wayward child. Even if they never use it, they still prepare it, running the words through their minds while on lunch break, or while sitting in traffic, or while listening to some moronic boss blather on about price points and distribution, and whatever other crap that people in office buildings have meetings about. What were the statistics? Starkey saw it on the news once. Every year the thought of unwinding passes through the mind of one in ten parents. Of those, one in ten seriously considers it, and of those, one in twenty actually goes through with it–and the statistic doubles with every additional kid a family has. Crunch those juicy numbers, and one out of every two thousand kids between the ages of thirteen and seventeen will be unwound each year. Better odds than the lottery–and that doesnt even include the kids in state homes. His father, keeping his distance, begins the speech. “Mason, cant you see that you left us no choice?” The Juvey-cops hold him firm at the bottom of the stairs, but they make no move to get him outside. They know they must allow the parental rite of passage; the verbal boot out the door. “The fights, the drugs, the stolen car–and now being expelled from yet another school. Whats next, Mason?” “Gee, I dont know, Dad. There are so many bad choices I can make.” “Not anymore. We care enough about you to end your bad choices before they end you.” That just makes him laugh out loud. And then theres a voice from the top of the stairs. “No! You cant do this!” His sister, Jenna–his parents biological daughter–stands at the top of the stairs in teddy bear pajamas that seem too old for her thirteen years. “Go back to bed, Jenna,” their mother says. “Youre unwinding him just because he was storked, and thats unfair! And right before Christmas, too! What if I had come storked? Would you unwind me also?” “We are not having this discussion!” yells their father, as their mother begins to cry. “Go back to bed!” But she doesnt. She folds her arms and sits at the top of the stairs in defiance, witnessing the whole thing. Good for her. His mothers tears are genuine, but hes unsure whether shes crying for him or for the rest of the family. “All these things you do, everyone told us they were a cry for help,” she says. “So why didnt you let us help you?” He wants to scream. How could he possibly explain it to them if they cant see? They dont know what its like to go through sixteen years of life knowing you werent wanted; a mystery baby of uncertain race storked on the doorstep of a couple so sienna-pale, they could have been vampires. Or to still remember that day when you were three years old and your mom, all doped up on pain medication from your sisters cesarean delivery, took you to a fire station and begged them to take you away and make you a ward of the state. Or how about knowing every Christmas morning that your gift is not a joy, but an obligation? And that your birthday isnt even real because they cant pinpoint when you were born, just the day you were left on a welcome mat that some new mother took too literally? And what about the taunts from the other kids at school? In fourth grade Masons parents were called into the principals office. He had flipped a boy off the top platform of the jungle gym. The kid had suffered a concussion and a broken arm. “Why, Mason?” his parents had asked, right there in front of the principal. “Why did you do it?” He told them that the other kids were calling him “Storky” instead of Starkey, and that this was the boy who had started it. He naively thought theyd rise to his defense, but they just dismissed it as if it didnt matter. “You could have killed that boy,” his father had reprimanded. “And why? Because of words? Words dont hurt you.” Which is one of the hugest criminal lies perpetrated by adults against children in thi Details ISBN1442423676 Author Neal Shusterman Short Title UNWHOLLY Language English ISBN-10 1442423676 ISBN-13 9781442423671 Media Book Format Paperback DEWEY FIC Residence Irvine, CA, US Year 2013 Imprint Simon and Schuster Books for Young Readers Country of Publication United States Audience Age 13-17 Series Number 2 Series Unwind Dystology Publication Date 2013-10-15 AU Release Date 2013-10-15 NZ Release Date 2013-10-15 US Release Date 2013-10-15 UK Release Date 2013-10-15 Pages 416 Publisher Simon & Schuster Edition Description Reprint ed.
