Elsewhere

By: Gabrielle Zevin

After Liz is killed by a hit-and-run driver, she wakes up on a mysterious cruise ship and discovers she has died and is bound for a place called Elsewhere. Elsewhere is a place so like Earth, yet completely different. Here Liz will age backward from the day of her death. This new "life" does not appeal to Liz and at first resists the customs of Elsewhere and buries herself in her own grief. Will the help of new friends and newly discovered family, finally allow Liz to let go of the only life she's ever known and embrace a new one? This fresh debut novel from Zevin will certainly attract you by the end of the first chapter.
