by Gabrielle Zevin
What happens when you die? Zevin has created a refreshing alternative to the traditional options of heaven, hell, and purgatory: Elsewhere. When 15-year-old Liz Hall is killed in a hit-and-run accident, she wakes up on a cruise ship. The ship's destination? Elsewhere. Waiting for her at the dock is a woman she has never met--her grandmother. To give anything else away would spoil the surprise.
I love this novel. Although it is written for a young adult audience, I would recommend it to anyone who has ever lost a loved one. I like the idea of Elsewhere; Zevin has created a world that I wouldn't mind thinking actually exists. And I would love to think that I will go to Elsewhere when I die.
