"Elsewhere" by Gabrielle Zevin

After being killed in a bicycle accident, Liz finds herself on a cruise ship full of old people. This boat is going to Elsewhere, and Elsewhere is where you go when you die. But Liz isn't ready to be dead, she's supposed to be getting her driver's license and shopping for a prom dress. Elsewhere is a weird place, her dead grandma is there and everyone ages backwards until they turn into a baby. Is it possible that a life lived in reverse is no difference than a life lived forward? Is life in Elsewhere really that different than life on Earth? To find out, read Elsewhere! Good for 8th grade and up. This book follows a similar plot line to "The Lovely Bones," but it's not as harsh in subject material.
