The Everafter by Amy Huntley - ADVISABLE


Huntley, Amy The Everafter, 256 p. Balzer + Bray (Harper), 2009.  $16.99.  

Language: PG-13 (23 swears, 1 “f”)

Madison Stanton knows that she is dead.  But why are all of things from her former life floating all around her.  When she touches one, it draws her back to the time in her life when she lost that object and Madison loses herself in exploring and re-exploring each object and moment, searching for a way to reconnect with her life and her boyfriend – and searching for how she ended up dead.  But there is much more for Maddy to learn from these objects and times and Maddy needs to put her brain to use and find the meaning.  

Another book that I absolutely adored – but be aware of the language.  Older middle schools can probably handled it; definitely offer it to your high school students.
