 * Good sections to read aloud:**

15 year old Liz Hall is now in Elsewhere, a place where the dead go after they’ve passed on. It takes Liz a little bit to figure out actually where she is (and why), but once she does, she is not happy. Even though she gets to live with her grandmother who she never knew, things still aren’t satisfactory for Liz. She continues to follow her family and friends every day until something makes her “wake up and smell the coffee.” After this, Liz leads a very fun and eventful life in Elsewhere. This is a fun book!
 * Summary:**
