Elsewhere – Gabrielle Zevin

I LOVED this!... Magnificent... Such wisdom and tenderness about friendship and love as the years march on. Wonderful Russell T Davies Okay, I have to share this... this is when the eyes started to tear and the lips started to tremble: It’s hard for me to write a review about Elsewhere without any spoil or philosophy of life. So, please bear with me.Powerful and thought provoking in the way that recalls Lois Lowry’s The Giver, this bittersweet tale will move some readers to tears with its devastating beauty and loss.”— Seattle Post-Intelligencer

I wonder if there's a hat in here somewhere," says Liz. Even in a dream, Liz isn't sure she wants to be the freaky bald girl. She opens the closet and looks under the bed: both are as empty as the bureau. Zevin has the ability to make you care about her creations within paragraphs of meeting them... whose fates I consistently worried about when I occasionally had to put the book aside.

Gabrielle Zevin About – Gabrielle Zevin

This is an absolutely wonderful and loving book, perfect for teens.”— The Union-Prospector (Western Nevada County, CA) Fascinating. Zevin, in her first novel for young people, bends the laws of physics and biology to create an intricately imagined world.” — Publishers Weekly I loved this novel about two kids setting up a computer games company. What fascinated me is it's not about a romantic relationship but friendship. Mat Osman, The Times And there will be other lives for unpaid debts, for one-night stands, for Prague and Paris, for painful shoes with pointy toes, for indecision and revisions.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. She wants to fall in love. 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. It is the imaginary world of a game, a world Zevin describes with the addict's ardour, which forms a universe even the sturdiest parent or antediluvian book-lover will be enticed into. Big Issue You really like said book. I mean, it's been a good 8 months, and I was still hazy about the plot throughout the whole book, but it's SUCH a good story that I didn't mind kinda knowing the plot.
