    The second book in Neal Shusterman's Unwind Dystology series, following Connor, Risa, and Lev as they navigate a world where teenagers can be legally 'unwound' - having their body parts harvested for transplant. The story explores themes of bodily autonomy, the value of human life, and what it means to be whole, while continuing to examine the ethical implications of a society that has found a 'solution' to unwanted youth. The narrative delves deeper into the psychological and physical trauma of the unwinding process, while introducing new characters who challenge the established order.
