Creativity is a death sentence in Quill, but unbeknownst to Quill's leaders, the locked execution area is actually Artimé, a magical world that nurtures purged citizens' talents. All the secrecy is catastrophically undone by Unwanted Alex, who desperately misses his Wanted twin. Quill is a caricatured dystopia, but Artimé sparkles with magic, action, and newly liberated teenage creativity.
