Über diesen Titel
A TIME MAGAZINE BEST YA BOOK OF ALL TIME
Beloved by generations of audiences, Elsewhere is an original, moving novel about love, loss, and the meaning of it all from the New York Times-bestselling author of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry. This program is read by writer, actor and award-winning narrator Mara Wilson.
Is it possible to grow up while getting younger?
Welcome to Elsewhere. The beaches are marvelous. It’s quiet and peaceful. You can’t get sick, and you’ll never turn even a day older . . .
This 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 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. Now that she’s dead, though, Liz is forced to live a life she doesn’t want with a grandmother she has never met before. And it isn’t 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?
An audiobook that transcends genre and category, Elsewhere is a modern YA classic.

Kritikerstimmen
“Zevin's touch is marvelously light even as she considers profundities, easily moving among humor, wisdom and lyricism. . . .No plot synopsis can convey what a rich, wise spell this book casts.” —The New York Times Book Review
“A work of powerful beauty. This inventive novel slices right to the bone of human yearning, offering up an indelible vision of life and death as equally rich sides of the same coin.” —Starred, Booklist
“Intriguing. Surely guides readers through the bumpy landscape of strongly delineated characters dealing with the most difficult issue that faces all of us. Provides much to think about and discuss.” —Starred, School Library Journal
“Fascinating. Zevin, in her first novel for young people, bends the laws of physics and biology to create an intricately imagined world.” —Publishers Weekly
