In this eerie and atmospheric novel, New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Neal Shusterman explores questions of life, death, and what might lie in between.
Nick and Allie donât survive the car accidentâand their souls donât exactly get where theyâre supposed to go. Instead, theyâre caught halfway between life and death, in a sort of limbo known as Everlost: a shadow of the living world, filled with all the things and places that no longer exist. Itâs a magical, yet dangerous, place where bands of lost kids run wild and anyone who stands in the same place too long sinks to the center of the Earth.
When they find Mary, the self-proclaimed queen of lost souls, Nick feels like heâs found a home, but Allie isnât satisfied spending eternity between worlds. Against all warnings, Allie begins learning the âCriminal Artâ of haunting, and ventures into dangerous territory, where a monster called the McGill threatens all the souls of Everlost.
