Instead, they're caught halfway between life and death, in a sort of limbo known as Everlost: a shadow of the living world, filled with all the things and places that no longer exist. It's a magical yet dangerous place where bands of lost children run wild and anyone who stands in the same place too long sinks to the center of the Earth. When they find Mary, the self-proclaimed queen of lost kids, Nick feels like he he's found a home. But Allie isn't satisfied spending eternity between worlds. Against all warnings, Allie begins learning the "Criminal Art" of haunting and ventures into dangerous territory, where a monster called the McGill threatens all the souls of Everlost. In this imaginative novel, Neal Shusterman explores questions of life, death, and what just might lie in between. 674547 book 22 8 2006 Everlost total:1214|5:412|4:441|3:258|2:81|1:22| 1214 4782 2140 364 5 2 false false Thu Oct 29 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 05:58:58 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 29 06:32:25 -0700 2009
