About The Unwanteds:
goodreads, amazon, B&N, Indie Bound, Books-A-Million, Powell’s (available Hardcover, eBook, Audiobook)
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 occurrence 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.

Awesome video girls! I don't know how you do it…I am WAY to self-consious for all that;) lolz Can't wait to see what everyone else does in their posts. I am re-vamping mine as we speak! Which I think I am going to have to re-vamp again bc I didn't realize it has to be a picture of the "real" me….lolz
OH and just and FYI….but the link to above to PW's page doesn't work. Not sure what you have but it is: http://paranormlawastelands.blogspot.com
And Pushy….awesome pictures! I LOVE photography. I'll have to show you some of my wedding pics sometime. I dragged my wedding party into a rough neighborhood to make them take pics in front of graffiti walls. Why? Because the contrast was amazing, especially with high saturation. I mean guys and girls all in formal dresses and tux's standing in front of grafiti walls & abandoned warehouses? How perfect is that! lolz

How to make a video on your computer for dummies anyone??? Have to count me out on this one! Loved to have half of your talent D. How's the thesis???

Well, Joannie, you're in luck!!! This comment enters you in the contest! If you change your mind and would like to link to a photo or video of you explaining why you're Wanted, you can earn extra entries, but as of right now, you're in! Thanks for participating!!!

LOL!! Thanks, Heather! But the contest rules were just revised so you don't have to do a picture or video, just leave a comment! I hope you'll consider doing so because I'd love to hear what camp you think you'd wind up in and why!!!! 😀

Okay I'll answer the question b/c my son is at a new school and I'm sure they'd love a set of these books! It's a school full of Wanteds and Unwanteds trying to solve the world's problems!
I would be an Unwanted and proud of it, sorry Danny. I am writerly and when I put my mind to it, I can draw and create things. I've even been known to sew. Collage is my new found love. And taking pictures. So yeah, I'm Unwanted all the way! And if you really want me to post a picture of my transcripts from college to prove it, I could, but I'd be embarrassed! Math and Science, logic being rationale, not for me.
Heather
Pushy, frame those pictures and enjoy them rather than keeping them in a box!

Thank YOU!! I actually finally made a video! That alone should make me unwanted. I do think I might need therapy telling everyone I'm unwanted for a few weeks!! I just have to keep reminding myself it's a good thing!
