Autor Gabrielle Zevin
en Limba Engleză Hardback – mai 2007 – vârsta până la 17 ani
Welcome to Elsewhere. It is warm, with a breeze, and the beaches are marvelous. It's quiet and peaceful. You can't get sick or any older. Curious to see new paintings by Picasso? Swing by one of Elsewhere's museums. Need to talk to someone about your problems? Stop by Marilyn Monroe's psychiatric practice. Elsewhere is where fifteen-year-old Liz Hall ends up, after she has died. It is a place so like Earth, yet completely different. Here Liz will age backward from the day of her death until she becomes a baby again and returns to Earth. But Liz wants to turn sixteen, not fourteen again. She wants to get her driver's license. She wants to graduate from high school and go to college. And now that she's dead, Liz is being forced to live a life she doesn't want with a grandmother she has only just met. And it is not going well. How can Liz let go of the only life she has ever known and embrace a new one? Is it possible that a life lived in reverse is no different from a life lived forward? This moving, often funny book about grief, death, and loss will stay with the reader long after the last page is turned.

Recenzii

Every so often a book comes along with a premise so fresh and arresting it seems to exist in a category all its own. Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin, is such a book. Zevin's touch is marvelously light even as she considers profundities, easily moving among humor, wisdom and lyricism . No plot synopsis can convey what a rich, wise spell this book casts
Fascinating. Zevin, in her first novel for young people, bends the laws of physics and biology to create an intricately imagined world
So convincing you find yourself wanting to read the book backwards when you've finished
Pose[s] intriguing questions about identity and connection

Notă biografică

Beloved by generations of readers, Gabrielle Zevin's Elsewhere is an original and unexpectedly moving novel about love, loss, and the meaning of it all from the New York Times best-selling author of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry.


Is it possible to grow up while getting younger?


Welcome to Elsewhere. The beaches are marvelous. It's quiet and peaceful. You can't get sick and you'll never get even one day older . . .


Elsewhere is where fifteen-year-old Liz Hall ends up, after she has died. It is a place so like Earth, yet completely different. Here, Liz will age backward from the day of her death until she becomes a baby again and returns to Earth. But Liz wants to turn sixteen, not fourteen again. She wants to get her driver's license. She wants to graduate from high school and go to college. And now that she's dead, Liz is forced to live a life she doesn't want with a grandmother she has only just met. And it isn't going well. How can Liz let go of the only life she has ever known and embrace a new one? Is it possible that a life lived in reverse is no different from a life lived forward?

A book that transcends genre and category, Elsewhere is a modern YA classic.
