The Unwanteds

Unwanteds Series, Book 1

De: Lisa McMann

Narrado por: Simon Jones

The New York Times best-selling author of the Wake trilogy makes her middle-grade dystopian fantasy debut!

When Alex finds out he is Unwanted, he expects to die. That is the way of the people of Quill: Each year all the 13-year-olds are labeled as Wanted, Necessary, or Unwanted. Wanteds get more schooling and train to join the army. Necessaries keep the farms running. Unwanteds are set for elimination.

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 Artime. There, Alex and his fellow Unwanteds are encouraged to cultivate their creative abilities and use them magically. Everything Alex has ever known changes before his eyes, and it’s a wondrous transformation.

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 Artime that will pit brother against brother in an ultimate, magical battle.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I found this book because I was searching for books narrated by Simon Jones. He makes listening to books so engaging. He did not disappoint in this book.

What other book might you compare The Unwanteds to and why?

I recommend The Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud. The books were very interesting and very well-written but Simon Jones made all the characters come to life. As he did with this book.
