Staff Recommendation - Elsewhere

Elsewhere

by Gabrielle Zevin

Elsewhere is an entertaining, poignant story about a teenager whose life on Earth is cut short. This is the story about her life after death. Liz wakes to find herself en route to the strangest place you can imagine. It is Elsewhere - where you go to live after you die. The unusual part: you get younger every day, and one day will be young enough to be reborn as an infant on Earth. Grow with Liz as she tries to handle the unfairness of her situation -- she will never become old enough to get her driver's license. She doesn't get to go the prom. Find out who did and didn't come to her funeral. And most importantly, as all teenagers will, she dreams of finding her first love -- but will anyone want to love her? Will Liz ever fit in here? And isn't it weird to live with a grandma who is no older than your mom?
