(I hope there's not a topic on this already)
So I was at the book fair and I picked up this book because it sounded pretty interesting...but a little morbid. XD Well the storyline in general sort of is because a lot of it revolves around death, but believe me, it's a good book. I'll type the back side of it on here:
Nick and Allie don't survive the car accident, but their souls don't exactly get where they're supposed to go either. Instead, they're caught halfway between life and death, in a sort of limbo known as Everlost: a shadow of the living world, filled with all the things that no longer exist. It's a magical, yet dangerous place where bands of children run wild and anyone who stands in the same place too long sinks to the center of the Earth.
When they find Mary, the self-proclaimed queen of lost children, Nick feels like he's found a home but Allie isn't satisfied spending eternity between worlds. Against all warnings, Allie begins to learn the "Criminal Art" of haunting, and ventures into dangerous territory, where a monstar called the McGill threatens all the souls in Everlost.
In this imaginative novel, Neal Shusterman explores questions of life, death and just what may lie in between.
Wow. That took a while to type. Anyway, it's a really interesting book...I couldn't put it down quite a while....until my parents yelled at me to go to bed, specifically. I know the storyline sounds sort of creepy at first, but believe me, it's a great novel.
If you've read it with me PM me if you'd like to discuss it. I like discussing books I've read so...yeah.
