The Unwanteds
by McMann, Lisa
Every year in Quill, thirteen-year-olds are sorted into categories: the strong, intelligent Wanteds go to university, and the artistic Unwanteds are sent to their deaths Thirteen-year-old Alex tries his hardest to be stoic when his fate is announced as Unwanted, even while leaving behind his twin, Aaron, a Wanted. Upon arrival at the destination where he expected to be eliminated, however, Alex discovers a stunning secret--behind the mirage of the "death farm" there is instead a place called Artime. In Artime, each child is taught to cultivate their creative abilities and learn how to use them magically, weaving spells through paintbrushes and musical instruments. Everything Alex has ever known changes before his eyes, and it's a wondrous transformation. But it's a rare, unique occurence for twins to be separated between Wanted and Unwanted, and as Alex and Aaron's bond stretches across their separation, a threat arises for the survival of Artime that will pit brother against brother in an ultimate, magical battle.

I listened to this as an audiobook in the car and remember where I was when I came to the twist because I almost had to pull over to make sure I was hearing everything correctly. The Royal Family is killed except for the long lost son, so many people are claiming that they are the lost son in attempts to gain the throne.

Described as a cross between Hunger Games and Harry Potter, but I don't think it's as good as Harry Potter. I liked it as much as Hunger Games though. A society tries to weed out it's Unwanteds, but instead of walking to their deaths, they are hidden by magic until the society learns about where they are.
