Summary: Connor, Risa and Lev are our main characters in a future world where kids (between 13-18) are “unwound” and their body parts “salvaged” for medical use. Connor goes to great lengths to ensure he isn’t unwound when his time arrives. Risa finds out she is being unwound and tries to change the course as well. Lev just happens to get mixed up with the two of them by accident. No matter how they have arrived at “The Graveyard,” one thing is certain...something has to be done to save kids all around the world that are being prepared to be unwound. You’ll never expect everything that comes at you during this book. This is a higher level book that not just anyone will be able to pick up and understand.
