A TIME MAGAZINE BEST YA BOOK OF ALL TIME
Beloved by generations of readers, Elsewhere is an original, moving novel about love, loss, and the meaning of it all from the New York Timesโbestselling 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. Itโs quiet and peaceful. You canโt get sick, and youโll never turn even a day older . . .
This 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 and returns to Earth.
But Liz wants to turn sixteen, not fourteen again. She wants to get her driverโs license. She wants to graduate from high school and go to college. Now that sheโs dead, though, Liz is forced to live a life she doesnโt want with a grandmother she has never met before. And it isnโt 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. This deluxe edition features an introduction written by the author, a new Q&A from the author, and personal black-and-white photographs.
