Nick and Allie would probably never have met each other during their life times. But due to the car accident, in death they are brought together. They find themselves in a world between worlds called Everlost. When Allie decides that she wants to go home, she takes Nick and their new friend, Lief with her. What she discovers is a world that may not have the pain of the living, but has dangers all its own: tribes of other children not having gotten to where they should have, the possibility of sinking right to the center of the earth if one stands too long in a space not connected to Everlost, and even monsters. But it also hold friends and mysterys (some good, others not so). Shusterman amazing takes the trials of growing up, life, death and choices and magically weaves them into a beautiful creation as thought provoking as it is alluring.

IT BEGINS WITH AN ACCIDENT.

Nick and Allie don't survive the crash, and now their souls are stuck halfway between life and death in a sort of limbo called Everlost. It's a magical yet dangerous place, where bands of lost souls run wild andanyone who stands in the same spot too long sinks to the center of the Earth.

Frightened and determined, Nick and Allie aren't ready to rest in peace just yet. They want their lives back, and their search for a way homewill take them deep into the uncharted areas of Everlost. But the longer they stay, the more they forget about their pasts. And if all memory of home is lost, they may never escape this strange, terrible world.
