A parent might reach for this book when their mature middle-grade reader is asking profound questions about life, death, and purpose, and is ready for a fantasy that doesn't provide easy answers. Everlost follows two teens, Allie and Nick, who find themselves in a fantastical limbo after a fatal car accident. This in-between world is filled with the ghosts of children and places that were once loved. The story explores their struggle to find meaning in their new existence: one seeks safety and community, while the other craves purpose and adventure. It's a compelling, non-religious exploration of the afterlife that masterfully blends high-stakes adventure with deep philosophical questions about identity, conformity, and what it means to truly live.
