I think this is a great book for the recommended age range published on the back of it (ages 8 - 12). The concept of creative warrior artists is really fun and the magical animal hybrids are very cool. I appreciated the kindly adult figure in Artime and the real evil of enforced conformity in Quill which reminded me of Camazotz from A Wrinkle in Time. Although part of a series, The Unwanteds draws to enough of a close that I'm not left feeling cheated. I'll happily recommend this to the next 4th grader who asks me for a book idea.
