About this ebook

Nick and Allie don't survive the car accident...

...but their souls don't exactly get where they're supposed to get either. Instead, they're 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 onger exist. It's a magical, yet dangerous place where bands of lost children 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 kids, Nick feels like he he's found a home, but allie isn't satisfied spending eternity between worlds. Against all warnings, Allie begins learning the "Criminal Art" of haunting, and ventures into dangerous territory, where a monster called the McGill threatens all the souls of Everlost.

In this imaginative novel, Neal Shusterman explores questions of life, death, and what just might lie in between.

Ratings and reviews

You would never guess by the cover that this was a 5 star, one of a kind book but you have to pick random books up sometimes! I'm just kidding, I actually heard a lot of good reviews on this before and decided to give it a chance. The cover is by far the coolest and well-thought out one I have seen (in a while anyways) just like the book itself! I really admire Shusterman's writing style and would definitely recommend this book for anyone who likes spontaneous, unnatural and/or one of a kind reads.

First book that I read during my sophomore year and in my opinion, it's a good book. Loved it from beginning to end. I'm lucky that I was able to enjoy the book and get lost in the story. Good story, perfect setting, the imagery was simply wonderful.
