The Unwanteds by Lisa McMann
4.0
adventurous emotional medium-paced

I normally dread reading juvenile fantasy novels but this one was really fun! A review described it as Harry Potter meets Hunger Games and I would have to agree. It has the fun and whimsical magic of the early Harry Potter series and some of the divided, dystopic political unrest of the Hunger Games novels. If a child were looking for something similar to the Harry Potter novels, I would definitely recommend the Unwanteds series!
