What this book is about
Nick and Allie die in a car accident and find themselves in Everlost — an afterlife inhabited by dead children who didn't complete their journey. Drawn toward places that mattered in life, Everlost's inhabitants can become permanently 'fixed' to a spot. When they find themselves between a benevolent Hag and the menacing Chocolate Ogre who controls the Everlost highway, they must navigate an afterlife with its own dangers. Shusterman handles death with his characteristic thoughtfulness.
