Unwind
Shusterson’s Unwind is a young adult novel about a society that allows children to be “retroactively aborted” between the age of 13 and 18. These children are not killed, but unwound — a process in which every part of the child’s body is transferred to another person. Not dead — simply alive in a new form.
Unwind was lent to me by one of my former students and I’ve told all of my classes about this book. So far the enthusiasm has been pretty incredible. I’ll have to get funds to buy it for my library now.
