Unwind
by Neal Shusterman
Risa Ward: Risa shares her last name with thousands of other kids, all wards of the state. Since a recent budget cutback, Risa and many other Wards have been shipped off to Unwinding, since they aren't talented enough to remain in the state's care. When a bus accident allows Risa to escape from her fate, she runs into runaway Connor and his hostage, Lev.
Memorable Quotes by Risa Ward:
“"Don't I have a choice in this?" But when she looks behind her, the answer is clear. There are two guards waiting to make sure that she has no choice at all. And as they lead her away, she thinks of Mr. Durkin. With a bitter laugh, Risa realizes that he may get his wish after all. Someday he may see her hands playing in Carnegie Hall. Unfortunately, the rest of Risa won't be there" p.g 24”
“The devil you know is better than the one you don't”
