New York Times bestselling author Lisa McMann visits to discuss and sign The Unwanteds with Club Read members.

Every year in Quill, thirteen-year-olds are sorted into categories—the strong, intelligent 'Wanteds' go to university, and the artistic 'Unwanteds' are sent to their deaths. When Alex is announced as an Unwanted, he leaves behind his twin, Aaron, a Wanted. But upon arrival at the destination where he expects to die, Alex discovers a stunning secret—behind the mirage of the 'death farm' there is instead a place called Artime. There, each child is taught to cultivate their creative abilities and use them magically, weaving spells through paintbrushes and musical instruments. Soon, as Alex and Aaron's bond stretches across their separation, a threat arises for the survival of Artime that will pit brother against brother in an ultimate, magical battle.

"Imagination runs wild in this creative adventure."
—#1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Mull

"The Hunger Games meets Harry Potter in this middle-grade departure from McMann’s string of paranormal mysteries with romance for young adults... Blending elements from two popular genres, this is sure to be a double hit."
—Kirkus Reviews

"Reading McMann's The Unwanteds was like discovering a brilliant, lost children's classic—except it's never going to be lost, because readers will never, ever forget the magic they'll experience in its pages."
—James A. Owen, bestselling author and illustrator of Here, There Be Dragons
