Not my thing. When Shusterman writes — as someone with a background in screenwriting — he said is very visual, thinking in scenes. In fact, Shusterman has written a script for Unwind and already is working with producers. They will start shopping the script to investors soon, purposely timed with the recent release of The Hunger Games movie. If all goes well, the earliest it could be released is two years from now. He's written the sequel to Unwind , called Unwholly and is working on a third book in the series.
His novel, Bruiser, about an outcast who can absorb the pain of others has been nominated for the Nutmeg Book Awards, which readers will vote on this year. The most unique question students asked him was what world, out of all his novels, he'd want to live in. He said it was a hard question because "I kind of put my characters through the ringer," so he chose his two most light-hearted books — The Schwa Was Here and Antsy Does Time.
Just as his characters struggle to make it through difficult situations, Schusterman said that perseverance is important in writing, particularly because even he still faces rejection from publishers sometimes.
Everlost dealt with the issue about these kids trapped between life and death in a fantastical kind of way. There is a third version called purgatory, which is a kinder, gentler version of the place down under. PS Although I have been calling the Unwind books a trilogy, rumor has it a fourth book will be released in If that happens, the Unwind books will become a Quartet. For the longest time, the series has also been labeled The Unwind Trilogy but apparently it might become known as The Dystology Quartet.

All the books are available in hardcover, paperback, e-book, and audio editions. Unwind is a classic study on the value of human life and personal choice. Who owns our bodies? Does the government have the right to determine whose life is more valuable over another?
Although the storyline seems extreme, it is not unlike other classic novels such as and A Brave New World where the individual, in this case, teens, become subordinate to the state.
However, in this story, the three teens are determined to fight back. Without a doubt, Unwind is a disturbing read, but it is a thinking read. Questions about personal rights, especially teen rights, government power , and the sanctity of life flow through your mind as you read. Reading this book puts a new spin on organ donation and gives readers the opportunity to wrestle with difficult topics and think about their personal convictions on emotionally charged subjects.
The publisher recommends this book for ages 13 and up. Simon and Schuster, ISBN: Actively scan device characteristics for identification.
