Everwild by Neal Shusterman. Genre dystopian.
Everwild~ The dead alive again
Nick is trying to free all of the souls from Everlost and send them into the light, but his love Mary Hightower, is trying to imprison all of the children in Everlost to keep as her own subjects. Ally and Mikey join a group of skinjackers and head towards Memphis. Ally wants to find her family and the one person keeping her sane is Mikey McGill. Soon Ally finds out that not everyone in Everlost is dead. Nick and Mary go head to head, and Mickey loses everything he ever loved. Now Mikey must find Ally before its to late.
"Shusterman has once again created a world that is beautiful and imaginative yet increasingly eerie and grim....A fascinating read penned by an expert hand." -Kirkus Reviews
This is the second book in the Skinjacker Trilogy. The first book Everlost was exciting and scary it made me want to read more. I also read another book by the same author called Unwind. He now has a second book for that trilogy also, it is called Unholy. I cant wait to read Unholy he always makes the books interesting by making an unsuspected event occur.
"Beneath the crystal dome that once housed a vast variety of plant life, were children- hundreds of them, all asleep and curled in fetal positions. They were dead, yet not dead. they weren't quite afterlights, for they didn't have any afterglow."(207-208)
I love the way Neal Shusterman writes. Its like it could really happen but no one has ever seen it before. He writes as if he has experienced it all before, and when I read it feels like I to lived it. He makes his pieces life like but in an eerie way.
I give Everwild 5 Paws- Devour it!
