The Unwanteds

Pick up your copy today at Amazon, B&N, Indiebound, B.A.M, Powell's, or your local indie!
Synopsis borrowed from Goodreads:

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.

Now come find out if Darkfallen & Greta are...

Greta: Well, he should... I'm totally better than you cuz you know... I'm uber fabulous with my brainz

Greta: Umm... duhs? Uber fabulous with brainz!

Darkfallen: You can't even spell!
Greta: That makes me fabulous.... you wouldn't understand painter girl!! I rock!

Darkfallen: But....

Greta: NO! No BUTS about it.... Plus, that's an improper sentence.

Darkfallen: You wouldn't know an improper sentence if it bit you on the kneecap

Greta: HAH! Shows what you know! I have been bitten on the kneecap before and I totally noticed because I'm quite intelligent and uber smart and realized there was something quite askew with the whole ordeal.

Darkfallen: Oh brother



Announcer: Ladies... to your corners



Greta: I'm already in my corner. I knew I should be here because my mighty brain told me so.

Darkfallen: That doesn't even make sense

Greta: Silence MARTHA STEWART

Darkfallen: Martha what? Oh it is on!!



Referee: Now, I want a clean fight. No hitting below the cerebrum cortex and no punching above the easel. Do I make myself clear?



Greta: Crystal... as in I totally know what crystal is made from but don't want to explain it because Andy Warhol over there probably wouldn't understand
