I chose the novel, "Everlost," by Neal Shusterman. This book is centered on two main people: Allie, and Nick. They’re both fourteen years old; both live separate lives, and don't know each other...until one fateful day. Both their cars get into an accident, and Allie and Nick die. Though, their souls don't make it to where they're going. Instead their souls are trapped between the living and the dead, in a place called Everlost.
Everlost is a place for "Afterlights" (the ones who don't make it to were they're going), where still in the living world, is very dangerous, though it can be a safe haven. No, adults get into Everlost, only children and young teens. As an Afterlight, if you stay in one place to long, you sink. Though, it can be a place where sad things were once lost are now back, like the Twin Towers of New York, their ghosts stand tall and proud, only seen by Afterlights. This is where Mary Hightower keeps her safe haven of children. They all live in the magnificent towers, each day a routine for each one; and that's how it'll be for eternity for these kids; they find their niche and that's what they do.
When Nick and Allie find her, Nick's satisfied and wants to stay, though Allie wants to get to where she was supposed be going. Allie decides even though the living can't see them, she'll force her family to see her. That's why Allie decides to learn the arts of haunting, but then everything goes wrong.
