Great Discussion book. Great Book Period. This is one of the best books that I have ever read. My review doesn't do it justice, but that is just because I don't want to ruin this amazing book for you. Liz wakes up on a bunk in a boat not knowing where she is or how she got there. The shock of her life comes when she finds out that she is dead, the victim of a hit and run driver, and what's more important to her 15 year old self is that she will not turn 16 get her drivers license, go to college, get married or even get big boobs. This is a funny and heart-tugging book of Liz's journey through Elsewhere where she never gets older, but has an unexpected life and will grow younger until she is sent back to earth as a new born to experience life all over again. With the help of her grandmother that died before she is born, Liz makes this journey through anger, regret and triumph. It will definately make you look at the after-life in a totally different way.

When you die you don't go to heaven or hell, you go to Elsewhere which is exactly like Earth except you're dead. Oh and you don't age, you grow younger until you are reborn on Earth as an infant. An incredibly boring and stupid book.

This is certainly not your usual after-life story. Very ingenious. I couldn't believe this was listed as a young adult story. I enjoyed it very much!

A teenage girl dies and the story an interesting take by the author on where her soul landed after dying. That's all I will say so as not to write a spoiler. Very good and enjoyable fictional read from beginning to end!

Written through the voice of a child, this book is surprisingly sweet and clever. I really enjoyed it!
