Island of Shipwrecks

Island of Shipwrecks is the fifth installment in Lisa McMann's New York Times bestselling middle-grade fantasy series The Unwanteds, in which a dystopian society banishes creative children to be eliminated, only for them to be secretly saved and raised in the magical world of Artime. Here the artistic mages and the rigid rule-followers of Quill edge closer to all-out war.

After a devastating storm destroys their vessel, Alex Stowe and his fellow Artimeans are marooned on a strange island, forced to survive and repair their ship while the fate of home hangs in the balance. Meanwhile, Alex's twin Aaron consolidates power in Quill and plots an assault that could destroy everything the Unwanteds have built.

Blending adventure, magic, and the emotional weight of a fractured sibling relationship, this volume deepens the series' central conflict between imagination and conformity.
