Tras un accidente de tráfico, Allie y Nick despiertan en un frondoso bosque. Necesitarán un tiempo para comprender que se encuentran en un lugar conocido como Everlost. Un mundo inquietante, donde los nombres se desvanecen como cualquier otro recuerdo, donde si uno olvida que tiene los ojos azules, puede que se le vuelvan rojos o donde cada día puede convertirse en una repetición del anterior. Pero ¿qué ha pasado con sus vidas? ¿En qué se han convertido? ¿Qué hacen allí? Tal vez sean como monedas caídas de canto.

      Starred review from November 6, 2006
      Shusterman's (Full Tilt
      ) enigmatic novel imagines a purgatory where only children go, with its own vocabulary and body of literature plus a monster named the McGill. After a car accident, teens Allie and Nick awaken 272 days later in Everlost. "It took nine months to get you born, so doesn't it figure it would take nine months to get you dead?" says the boy who discovers them, a nameless, lonely child they call Lief (an "Afterlight" who is 100 years old). In Everlost only the young exist, because adults "never get lost on the way to the light." The World Trade Center is there, too, home to Mary Hightower, a 15-year-old shaman of sorts and author of countless books (e.g., You're Dead—So Now What?
      ). Shusterman uses excerpts from Mary's books (with an increasing sense of menace) to segue from one chapter to the next. Allie's flight from Mary's kingdom of "perfect routines," and her attempt to rescue Nick and Lief from a six-year-old spectral gangster lead her into a conflict with the monstrous McGill (with "sharp, three-fingered talons for hands,... its mismatched eyes wandered of its own accord"). Along the way, Allie learns the art of "skinjacking" (inhabiting the living), and Nick discovers a thing or two about the mechanics of Everlost, much to Mary's dismay. Shusterman's landscapes seem both familiar and ghostly, just the right mix for this fascinating limbo land that readers can only hope will provide the setting for more books to come. Ages 12-up.
