By: Lisa McMann 4 Stars Genre: Fantasy Carson Whittemire 8th Grade In my book "The Unwanteds" it is expressed that creativity shows strength and intelligence. This is shown through a character name Alex who, at 13 years old, was sent to be killed; because in the town of Quill, that later is found to be an island, you can't be creative in any way. Which is what Alex did, Alex thinking he was about to die, finds himself on an island called Artime where creativity is expressed and the source to life on Artime. Toward the end a war occurs between Artime and Quill, which end with Quill being defeated and peach being settled between the two lands. In conclusion The Unwanteds is a book that creativity will be shown through and will allow your imagination free.
