The Unwanted by Lisa McMann

8/10  Very good dystopia novel for young readers.  The author uses a lot of new plot twists in her novel combined with popular fiction plot lines from this age group's market.  The familiarity of the content helps the reader become drawn in to find what will happen under this writer's quill.  The magical elements are creative and fun to turn over in your mind.  This writer shows how combining two different plot lines and your own new ideas is a great way to create a new story.

Workshop writers should try taking to tales they have read and combining their plots with a story idea that they have been working on!
