Everlost (Skinjacker, #1)

3.5/5
I'm obsessed with all things Shusterman, so of course I had to pick this one up. It involves two teenagers who die in a car accident and end up in a sort of afterlife. Nick and Allie are essentially ghosts in a purgatory on Earth. There are some interesting concepts, like objects, food and even buildings coming through to "Everlost", becoming ghostly versions of themselves. The Twin Towers themselves are even available to the ghost children to live in. It reminded me a lot of Peter Pan and his lost boys in that the children are never aging. This is definitely more lighthearted than Scythe or Unwind, more for younger teens, I'd say.
