網紅的藏寶箱正仔在圖書館發現了 The Unwanteds 這個系列，然後就一頭栽進這書的魔法世界，一兩天就看完近 500 頁的內容，還要一本接著一本地看，甚至宣告 The Unwanteds 成功打敗 Percy Jackson 成為他最喜愛的小說，看到正仔如此著迷，本來都想親自閱讀看看其精彩之處，但近日太忙了，讀了網上介紹，發現故事很特別，當中把人分作 Wanted、Necessary 和 Unwanted 很有 Lois Lowry 的 The Giver 裡反烏托邦世界的感覺。Amazon 的讀者對這書的評價都很高，很吸引，似乎我真的要找些時間閱讀 The Unwanteds。
//When Alex finds out he is Unwanted, he expects to die. That is the way of the people of Quill. Each year, all the thirteen-year-olds are labeled as Wanted, Necessary, or Unwanted. Wanteds get more schooling and train to join the Quillitary. Necessaries keep the farms running. Unwanteds are set for elimination.
It’s hard for Alex to leave behind his twin, Aaron, a Wanted, but he makes peace with his fate—until he discovers that instead of a “death farm,” what awaits him is a magical place called Artimé. There, Alex and his fellow Unwanteds are encouraged to cultivate their creative abilities and use them magically. 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 divided between Wanted and Unwanted, and as Alex and Aaron's bond stretches across their separation, a threat arises for the survival of Artim that will pit brother against brother in an ultimate magical battle.//
