The Unwanteds is the first book of a 7-part series called the Unwanteds. This book is about a dystopian society where creativity is viewed as a crime. Every year, 13-year old kids are gathered to be evaluated. Those who show no signs of creativity and are “normal” get sent to university, while those who do, get sent to execution. However, it is revealed that for many years, the kids who were sent to die were saved by a man named Mr. Today, who created a secret haven for them to live in and safely hide from the government.
I really enjoyed this book because of how creative the idea of it was. I typically enjoy reading books about various dystopian societies, and this one is no different. Many of the characters were so likable, and the overall plot was very intriguing as well. I would recommend this book to those who really enjoy fantasy novels.
