UnDivided (Unwind Dystology Book 4)
by Neil Shusterman. Available October 14, 2014 in hardback and November 6, 2014 in e-book format.Teens control the fate of America in the fourth and final book in the New York Times bestselling Unwind Dystology
by Neal Shusterman. Proactive Citizenry, the company that created Cam from the parts of unwound teens, has a plan: to mass produce rewound teens like Cam for military purposes. And below the surface of that horror lies another shocking level of intrigue: Proactive Citizenry has been suppressing technology that could make unwinding completely unnecessary.
As Conner, Risa, and Lev uncover these startling secrets, enraged teens begin to march on Washington to demand justice and a better future. But more trouble is brewing. Starkey’s group of storked teens is growing more powerful and militant with each new recruit. And if they have their way, they’ll burn the harvest camps to the ground and put every adult in them before a firing squad—which could destroy any chance America has for a peaceful future.
I am in awe of this series, Book 3 came out a year ago and I heaped on the praise. I highly endorse this series. The premise and storytelling makes this both a favorite and thought provoking series.
In a society where unwanted teens are salvaged for their body parts, three runaways fight the system that would "unwind" them.

Not everyone supports his ideals, however, and having offended the pope by welcoming Jews and heretics into England, David is summoned to Canterbury to explain himself.
But when information comes to light that reveals the accusations against him have less to do with religion than with power and wealth, David finds himself on familiar ground--and at the center of a conspiracy that stretches from Ireland to Italy. Facing excommunication, a fickle populace, and a rebellion even by his fellow time travelers, he must decide what his throne is worth, and what he's willing to sacrifice to keep it.
