I'm trying to remember the last time I've read about a miserable low-down character turning good but McMann has done it masterfully. My son told me this was his favorite book in the series because of one particular character--a new to the series and unassuming character-- and now I know why. Wow. Powerful. For a tween book no less. If you find a reason to read books for this age, pick up this series. It's breathtaking.

MeganAnn What is the first book in the series? 7y
Texreader @MeganAnn It is simply called The Unwanteds and the rest start with "The Island of...". Here's the first: 7y
MeganAnn @Texreader thank you!! Adding this to my TBR list to read with my son 7y
Texreader @MeganAnn Enjoy! If you can't tell I ❤️ these books. I actually bought the boxed set at the suggestion of a Litten for my son's birthday and then my son highly encouraged me to read them, plopping the pile by my bedside. There are 7 in total. 7y
julesG Now I have to find out whether it's available in German and, if so, whether our library has it in stock. Thanks for the review. 7y

On to Book 6!

thegirlwiththelibrarybag Ooh! I haven't thought about Lisa McMann in ages! I adored her Wake trilogy... the cover of this is very striking! How's the story? 7y
Texreader @thegirlwiththelibrarybag Terrific! Even though it's for tweens I'm loving it! Is Wake her adult series? I'm going to have to look for it if so. 7y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag Older teens? It was written in quite a stark style (which I loved) and was about a girl who fell into other people's dreams/nightmares- I can't quite remember what happened - but something that required investigating. 7y
Texreader @thegirlwiththelibrarybag Thanks! I'll check it out. 7y
