Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin

Wow, this is a great book!

I just finished Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin and I loved it. It's a sweet story about a young girl who dies at 15. She goes to the very surreal Elsewhere and meets people who also have died, some she knew, some who knew her, and others she was meeting for the first time. It is one interpretation of the afterlife, a unique concept that I really enjoyed.

Check out this publisher's site, which has some cool stuff related to the book. And here is a teenreads.com interview with the author.

I recommended it wholeheartedly!
