Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin & Alison McGhee




Elsewhere gives on a whole new perspective on life, living and death. In the novel, Elsewhere, 15 year old, Lizzie dies and goes to Elsewhere. In, Elsewhere one continues to live but rather than age, one goes backwards until they are a baby and sent back to earth to live a new life.

This is perhaps the happiest, saddest and uplifiting book I have read in a while. It is touching, heartwarming and highly recommended by this reader.

This book is an easy, quick read and quite enchanting.

The concept is quite a bit different yet similar to "The Lovley Bones". This novel is fresh, fun, witty and moving. A must read!




Grade: A+
