Summary: 5 Stars
Lizzie Hall is fifteen and preparing to get her driver's license and help her friend pick out a dress for the prom. All of these plans change in the blink of an eye. Suddenly Lizzie wakes up on a ship called the SS Nile. She and her roommate Thandi, dressed in white pajama's leave the room to find food and explore. Unlike Thandi it takes Liz a while to realize that she, like everyone else on this ship is dead. When the ship finally stops she finds herself in a place called Elsewhere and on the dock is her Grandmother Betty.
Liz tries all kinds of things to find out who she is in this strange place. Just when she thinks she has it figured out and has found someone to love, her luck changes again.
This was an absolutely delightful read. You see the rebellious teenager unwilling to change at first and then you see the teenager who has decided to give her time in elsewhere her best. She finds talents she never knew she had and uses them to help others. This was a fun read. I found myself giggling out loud at times. This book definitely gets a 5 out of 5 for being easy, delightful and fun.

Elsewhere
Where do we go when we die? Doesn't everyone ask themselfs that? Some people think they go to a better place. Some people think the opposite. Well, in this book Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin tells you a place where you could only dream of going to.
This book is about this girl named Liz that gets hit by a car at the age of 15 while riding a bicycle to the mall to pick out a dress for prom. She wakes up on a boat that is taking her to a place called Elsewhere. She finds out that she died and is in shock. She can't except the fact that she is dead. She feels that there was so much that she wanted to do and so much left unsaid. But Elsewhere is an extraordinary place where it is always sunny and is on the beach. There, instead of getting older you get younger until you get so young you start your life all over again on Earth. You also get to have what ever job you want. I thought it sounded pretty amazing but that is not what Liz thinks. She misses Earth and all her friends.
I highly recommend this book to whoever likes science fiction and asking themselves questions about the unanswerable. The words used in this book describe everything perfectly. Elsewhere, the unimaginable, the unthinkable, the afterlife, it is something else.

Wonderful!a Fresh approach and a different take on the usual religious approach to death. I loved it. The way the book is written is engaging and funny. I was transported from the first page. I bought two books to give as gifts.
