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. At first, Liz was all sad and gloomy, but will she ever be happy again and learn that love can happen anywhere? [Elsewhere][1] [1]: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/359410.Elsewhere
