AMAZE BALLS!
I love this book greatly. I am a 5th grade teacher at Lunderwood Elementary School and my kids rated this an average of 5 stars. They really enjoyed doing sticky notes and having group discussions about each chapter.

Amazing Read
The theme of The Unwanteds is things are not always what they seem. Being "eliminated" means that you are sent to a beautiful world where expressing what you feel through music, art, acting etc. is welcome. Instead of being sent to death you are saved. The little gray shack on the plot of land where Alex and the other Unwanteds first saw where they were going to be living turned out to be a mansion with unlimited space.

Best book ever!!!:)
I loved this book! It was suspenseful, thrilling, heartbreaking, and fantastical! If you're looking for a good read, with lots of adventure and fantasy, with mysteries lurking behind every corner, this is the absolutely perfect book for you, and you will love it...I guarantee it. If you read this book, you'll never be able to put it down. It's also a series, and you'll be obsessed with Lisa McMann's wonderful books. The next book after The Unwanteds, is The Island of Silence. Read the book! It's a favorite of mine.
love to read
