The Unwanteds is a 7-book series by Lisa McMann and published by Aladdin. The series is about the teenager Alex Stowe as he learns magic in the world of Artime, which uses magic based on art, including sculpture, painting, theater, and more. Every year the island city Quill purges 13 year old kids, dividing them in Wanted, Necessary, or Unwanted. The Unwanteds are eliminated, supposedly being tossed into the Great Lake of Burning Oil. However, they are really sent to the world of Artime, and so they are saved. Lisa McMann has also written a follow-up series called The Unwanteds Quests. My rating for The Unwanteds: 5 out of 5 stars. My rating for The Unwanteds Quests: 4 and 3/4 out of 5 stars.
