What happens after you die? Zevin writes of Elsewhere. A place where you
live, work, and play – only after you die. It’s a story of 15 year old, Liz,
who ends up in Elsewhere after a tragic accident. The story is cute, sometimes funny (want to
learn Canine or Catus? Go to Elsewhere), heart-breaking and even peacefully. It's
not groundbreaking writing, but I felt Zevin wrote in a way that will have
teens thinking…what it’s like, who should I be, where do I want to go, do my
actions now matter? It's a nonthreatening
view of life and death and life after death. This would be a great selection
for teen book groups.
