Everwild

by Neal Shusterman

Summary:
Everlost, the limbo land of dead children, is at war. Nick the “Chocolate Ogre” wants to help the children of Everlost reach the light at the end of the tunnel. Mary Hightower, self-proclaimed queen of lost children and dangerous fanatic, is determined to keep Everlost’s children trapped within its limbo for all eternity. Traveling in the memory of the Hindenburg, Mary is spreading her propaganda and attracting Afterlights to her cause at a frightening speed.

Meanwhile, Allie the Outcast travels home to seek out her parents, along with Mikey, who was once the terrifying monster the McGill. Allie is tempted by the seductive thrill of skinjacking the living, until she discovers the shocking truth about skinjackers.


My Thoughts:
I love this series so far.
The parallel world that Shusterman has created is detailed and fantastical.
I love how the reader gets to discover the world of Everlost at the same time the kids living in there do too. The characters are intriguing, entertaining, and understandable.

In My Book Bag

Here are the title's that I have out from the library, or are waiting for me on the holdshelf:



Beauty Queens

By Libba Bray

I've heard lots of great things about this book.

And now that I've read A Great and Terrible Beauty, I want to see what I think of Libba Bray's other work.

Plus the cover is super intriguing.

The Reformed Vampire Suppot Group

By Catherine Jinks

One of my friends recommended this book to me.

And it looks like a fun read

I'm already a few chapters in, but I'm not convinced yet.

We'll see.

Maybe it'll change my mind yet.

Everwild

By Neal Shusterman

I've recently read the first book the this series and love it! (Review to come)

The plot could go in many different directions, and I want to know what happens to the charaters.

And I want to learn more about the world of Everlost, and what 'skinjacking' is really all about.
