This book’s main characters are Alex, Mr.Today, and High Priest Justine. Looking closer, there were words on the cover that read, “Harry Potter meets the Hunger Games.” I really enjoyed the Harry Potter series and also heard many good reviews about the Hunger Games so I decided that this book would be the ebay of both worlds. This book is a part of the series “The Unwanteds.” At first I chose this book because the cover had a cool color theme with a grand stone cheetah on it.

Twins are said to have special bonds and ways of communicating with each other that non-twins do not.If you could travel to a land filled with magic, what powers would you hope to have? What would you expect it to look like? Would you want just anyone to be able to come there?.What if you were never allowed to draw, paint, sing, dance, or express any artistic qualities whatsoever? What would it be like to live in a society without art? In the land of Quill, expressing your artistic talents could get you killed!.But it’s a rare, unique occurrence for twins to be divided between Wanted and Unwanted, and as Alex and Aaron’s bond stretches across their separation, a threat arises for the survival of Artim that will pit brother against brother in an ultimate magical battle. Everything Alex has ever known changes before his eyes, and it’s a wondrous transformation. There, Alex and his fellow Unwanteds are encouraged to cultivate their creative abilities and use them magically. It’s hard for Alex to leave behind his twin, Aaron, a Wanted, but he makes peace with his fate-until he discovers that instead of a “death farm,” what awaits him is a magical place called Artim. Wanteds get more schooling and train to join the Quillitary. Each year, all the thirteen-year-olds are labeled as Wanted, Necessary, or Unwanted. When Alex finds out he is Unwanted, he expects to die.
