Reseña del editor:

Is it possible to grow up while getting younger?
 
Welcome to Elsewhere. It is warm, with a breeze, and the
beaches are marvelous. It’s quiet and peaceful. You can’t get sick
or any older. Curious to see new paintings by Picasso? Swing by
one of Elsewhere’s museums. Need to talk to someone about
your problems? Stop by Marilyn Monroe’s psychiatric practice.
Elsewhere is where fifteen-year-old Liz Hall ends up, after she
has died. It is a place so like Earth, yet completely different.
Here Liz will age backward from the day of her death until she
becomes a baby again and returns to Earth. 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. 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. How can Liz let go of the only life she
has ever known and embrace a new one? Is it possible that a life
lived in reverse is no different from a life lived forward?
This moving, often funny book about grief, death, and loss will
stay with the reader long after the last page is turned.
