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 donāt survive the car accidentāand their souls donāt exactly get where theyāre supposed to go. Instead, theyāre 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. Itās 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 heās found a home, but Allie isnāt satisfied spending eternity between worlds. Against all warnings, Allie begins learning the āCriminal Artā of haunting, and ventures into dangerous territory, where a monster called the McGill threatens all the souls of Everlost.
