Elsewhere is a very unique book with a very unique setting. Life is in reverse. You age backwards. You can't get sick and the climate is perfect.

Can someone suggest a book to read?

Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin. A fifteen year old girl dies in a car accident at the beginning, but it gets less depressing after that. It's about how she copes in the afterlife - which is called Elsewhere, rather than Heaven or Elysium or whatnot. It's really good.

What is the book with the snowglobe on the cover called its about rebirth and recreation?

I think the book you are talking about is Elsewhere by gabrielle zevin. it is about a teenage girl that gets killed by a taxicab while she is riding her bike, and she gets sent to Elsewhere, which is like an afterlife. there you get younger until you are a baby and get sent back. Sorry if I ruined part of the book for you.

What is the plot summary for Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin?

n Gabrielle Zevin's novel Elsewhere, Liz is fifteen, looking forward to turning sixteen and getting her driver's license, when everything changes. She's riding her bike, only three months from driving a car instead of using her bike as her main mode of transportation, when she is hit by a car. She wakes up on a ship, sharing a room with a girl named Thandi who has what looks like a bullethole in the back of her head. Liz doesn't look like she normally does, either; she doesn't have any hair. In this "dream," as she thinks it is, things are a little weird. There are no modern electronic devices on the ship, and everyone with the exceptions of herself, Thandi, and Liz's favorite singer, Curtis Jest, is over 80.After watching her own funeral (used by her high school principal as an opportunity to lecture on traffic safety), Liz realizes that this is no dream. Nor is it exactly her "life." Liz is dead. She was killed in a car crash, and, in the world skillfully created by Gabrielle Zevin, this is where people go once they die. On a ship. Of course, boats have to go somewhere, and this one finally lands in Elsewhere. The afterlife, though not as anyone on earth imagined it. In Elsewhere, for one thing, people age backwards. Liz will never turn sixteen (but they'll still let her get a driver's license); instead, she'll be turning fourteen again, under the care of her dead grandmother, who is surprisingly young (about the same age as Liz's mother).Elsewhere, though the people grow younger rather than older, is a lot like earth. Some artists continue their work here (you can see new paintings by Picasso!), just as they did on earth. Marilyn Monroe is a psychiatrist. Everything you can find on Earth--music, books, artwork--you can find Elsewhere. Elsewhere, Liz thinks, "could have been a walk to the next town or an hour's ride in the car or an overnight plane trip." It shouldn't be too hard adjusting to this...right?Gabrielle Zevin's first YA novel is brilliant, and readers can only hope there will be a second! Sad, hopeful, creative, and well-written, this is a book that is not to be missed. The afterlife in Elsewhere is an original, interesting view of things that is somewhere between the heaven and hell spoken of by most religions; as has been said, this afterlife is a lot like an extension of life on earth, only backwards. It seems like a nice place, a happy place to be--except for what it takes for people to get there. Gabrielle Zevin creates this world brilliantly, in a novel that is sure to have readers hooked from the very first page. Definitely worth your money; you'll want to read this book, sure to be a favorite with readers of all ages for a long time to come, again and again.I'm not sure if you wanted a long or short one, but I have a 3 sentence one:When Liz Hall dies in a hit and run car accident just a few weeks before her 16 birthday, she is sent to a place called Elsewhere. Liz does not enjoy living with her grandma here and decides she wants to be sent back to Earth early and start a new life since she died under the age of 18. After her failed attempt at being sent back, she realizes that she should deal with the fact that she's dead and give her new life in Elsewhere a chance.
