Finally, an author who combines the quiet of a good book with the visuals of a movie. Readers can discover Ryan's account of what happened that night at the abandoned dredge and then watch Sarah's video (on a related website) to uncover the mystery that clouds the town of Skeleton Creek. This book is sure to thrill readers everywhere!

The acclaimed author of the "New York Times"-bestselling Underland Chronicles series delivers equal parts suspense and philosophy, adventure and romance, in a stunning novel set in a future with unsettling parallels to the present.

In a society where unwanted teens are salvaged for their body parts, three runaways fight the system that would "unwind" them. Connor's parents want to be rid of him and his troublemaking. Risa is an orphan and is being unwound to cut orphanage costs. Lev's unwinding has been planned since his birth as part of his family's strict religion. When brought together by accident and kept together by desperation, these companions make their way cross-country, knowing their lives hang in the balance. If they can make it to their eighteenth birthday, they're home free -- but when every piece of them is wanted by a world gone mad, eighteen seems a long way off. This book is one of my favorite Read On Wisconsin picks and is great for those who like Uglies and The Hunger Games.
