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
Thirteen-year-old Alex tries his hardest to be stoic when his fate is announced as Unwanted, even while leaving behind his twin, Aaron, a Wanted. Upon arrival at the destination where he expected to be eliminated, however, Alex discovers a stunning secret--behind the mirage of the "death farm" there is instead a place called Artime.
In Artime, each child is taught to cultivate their creative abilities and learn how to use them magically, weaving spells through paintbrushes and musical instruments. Everything Alex has ever known changes before his eyes, and it's a wondrous transformation.
But it's a rare, unique occurence for twins to be separated 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.

This book changed the way I looked at books after I read it!! I think the people who like dystopia stories will love to read Lisa McMann's amazing story!
This book is better than Harry Potter. I am finished with the 5th book and I'm serious this book is amazing. It has action ( Battle.), magic ( Pretty much the whole book.) and e.t.c and Mrs. Lisa Mcmann made one of the best book series ever.
this book is awesome and such a page turner.
OMAN! This book was one of the beast books I have ever read. There is adventure magic war and statues that come to life. Alex (the main character) has a brother who is a wanted, and becomes a solider. Alex is a Unwanted at quill so he goes to the unwanted's place. There were rumors about the place that you were put in boiling water then they left you there. Alex sees red eyes. To learn what happens read the book.
I loved it
I loved this book. It is about where this is a society where every year the boss of the town or whatever you call it desides three groups. The Wanted's, The Necessaries, and The Unwanted's. The Wanted's go to Wanted's University, The Necessaries keep the town kleen and stuff like that. The Unwanted's go to THE DEATH FARM. Or what people call THE DEATH FARM. This book is a mix of The hunger games and Harry Potter. It might sound like there is violence but there is actually NONE!!! This book is full of Creativity, Magic, Humor, and Unpredictability. This book is for ages 8 and up if you are a really good reader. It is fiction. Its probably one of the best books I ever read. You should really read this book!!!!!
we just finished reading this book in class and it is so amazing I think people would like it. It is most definitely sci-fi or fantasy
It is awesome.
This book is definitely a fantasy/si-fi. It's about creativity which is probably why I like it so much! This book is about honor and bravery and sacrifice. It's probably the best book I've ever read!
