Adventures in YA Episode 050: Unwind by Neal Shusterman

It’s time for another quarterly book club discussion! Unwind by Neal Shusterman is a dystopian tale of a society where unwanted teens are salvaged for their body parts and three runaways fight the system that would “unwind” them. Unwind is a book that challenges readers about life, not just where life begins, and where it ends, but what it truly means to be alive.

Adventures in YA Episode 049: 2017 Debut Authors

We are back, kind of. This is an older episode we recorded before we went on hiatus. Apologies for getting this up so late but 2017 has been a crazy pants kind of year. In this episode we are talking about our most anticipated debut authors of 2017, and there might be a little bit of Laura Jean fangirling going on. So grab a snack, sit back, and get ready to add hear about some YA debut authors.
