About the Book
Nick and Allie die in a car accident and wake up in Everlost—a world between life and death where children who don't make it to the light are stranded—and must navigate the dangers of this in-between world while seeking a way to complete their journey. A creatively imagined afterlife adventure with a darkly comic sensibility and real emotional depth. The first book in the Skinjacker trilogy.
Content Ratings
💡
Moderate Themes
The book engages directly with death — the characters are dead children — and the grief of those left behind. Themes of the afterlife, unfinished business, and the courage required to move on are handled thoughtfully.
⚔️
Mild Violence
Dangers from predatory dead children create fantastical tension. Violence is adventure-style and appropriate for the genre.
