      Teens control the fate of America in the fourth and final book in the New York Times bestselling Unwind dystology by Neal Shusterman. Proactive Citizenry, the company that created Cam from the parts of unwound teens, has a plan: to mass produce rewound teens like Cam for military purposes. And below the surface of that horror lies another shocking level of intrigue: Proactive Citizenry has been suppressing technology that could make unwinding completely unnecessary. As Conner, Risa, and Lev uncover these startling secrets, enraged teens begin to march on Washington to demand justice and a better future. But more trouble is brewing. Starkey's group of storked teens is growing more powerful and militant with each new recruit. And if they have their way, they'll burn the harvest camps to the ground and put every adult in them before a firing squad--which could destroy any chance America has for a peaceful future.

      In a one-of-a-kind collaboration, seventeen of the most recognizable YA writers—including Shaun David Hutchinson, Neal and Brendan Shusterman, and Beth Revis—come together to share the viewpoints of a group of students affected by a school shooting. It took only twenty-two minutes for Kirby Matheson to exit his car, march onto the school grounds, enter the gymnasium, and open fire, killing six and injuring five others. But this isn’t a story about the shooting itself. This isn’t about recounting that one unforgettable day. This is about one boy—who had friends, enjoyed reading, playing saxophone in the band, and had never been in trouble before—became a monster capable of entering his school with a loaded gun and firing bullets at his classmates. Each chapter is told from a different victim’s viewpoint, giving insight into who Kirby was and who he’d become. Some are sweet, some are dark; some are seemingly unrelated, about fights or first kisses or late-night parties. This is a book told from multiple perspectives—with one character and one event drawing them all together—by some of YA’s most recognizable names.

    • Czternastoletni Nick wraz z ojcem i bratem przeprowadza się do starego, wiktoriańskiego domu. Po niefortunnym wypadku z tosterem cała trójka postanawia pozbyć się zalegających na strychu gratów. Na wyprzedaż przybywają niespodziewane tłumy sąsiadów. Tego samego dnia Nicka odwiedzają podejrzani mężczyźni w garniturach. To daje początek serii dziwnych wydarzeń. Chłopiec odkrywa, że urządzenia, które sprzedał, działają zupełnie inaczej, niż powinny – aparat uwiecznia sceny z przyszłości, ogniwo ożywia umarłych, magnetofon zaś nagrywa… myśli. Czy Nick i jego nowi przyjaciele rozwikłają zagadkę strychu, zanim będzie za późno? I czy dowiedzą się, do kogo należą inicjały „NT”, widniejące na każdym z przedmiotów? Pierwszy tom nieprawdopodobnej serii. Wciągająca fabuła, wielka dawka nietuzinkowego poczucia humoru, a do tego wszystkiego tajemnicze wynalazki i pytanie – czy to jeszcze nauka, czy już magia?

      In un mondo che ha sconfitto fame, guerre e malattie, le falci decidono chi deve morire. Tutto il resto è gestito dal Thunderhead, una potentissima intelligenza artificiale che controlla ogni aspetto della vita e della società. Tranne, appunto, la Compagnia delle falci. Dopo il loro comune apprendistato, Citra Terranova e Rowan Damisch si sono fatti idee opposte sulla Compagnia e hanno intrapreso strade divergenti. Da ormai un anno Rowan si è ribellato ed è fuggito, diventando una vera leggenda: Maestro Lucifero, un vigilante che mette fine alle esistenze delle falci corrotte, indegne di occupare la loro posizione di privilegio. Di lui si sussurra in tutto il continente. Ormai divenuta Madame Anastasia, Citra è una falce anomala, le sue spigolature sono sempre guidate dalla compassione e il suo operato sfida apertamente il nuovo ordine. Ma quando i suoi metodi vengono messi in discussione e la sua stessa vita minacciata, appare evidente che non tutti sono pronti al cambiamento. Il Thunderhead osserva tutto, e non gli piace ciò che vede. Cosa farà? Interverrà? O starà semplicemente a guardare mentre il suo mondo perfetto si disgrega?
