Everlost


Everlost is written by Neal Shusterman (2007, 377 pages).

After a fatal car crash, Nick and Allie find themselves not in heaven, as they had expected, but rather in the world of Everlost. The souls there are somewhere in between, not completely dead, but certainly not among the living. The only souls found there are all under the age of 17; adult souls seem to have no problem getting to the light at the end of the tunnel.

Not believing they're dead, Nick and Allie attempt to find their ways home, but run into several problems. Between a seemingly perfect girl, the "Haunter," and a monster named the McGill, the teenagers have a wild ride ahead of them.


This was a great book with an interesting spin on the idea of limbo. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it is an easy though entertaining read for anyone.

5 out of 5 stars
