His books have received many awards from organizations such as the International Reading Association, and the American Library Association, as well as garnering a myriad of state and local awards across the country. As a full-time writer, he claims to be his own hardest task-master, always at work creating new stories to tell. In the years since, Neal has made his mark as a successful novelist, screenwriter, and television writer. Within a year of graduating, he had his first book deal, and was hired to write a movie script. After spending his junior and senior years of high school at the American School of Mexico City, Neal went on to UC Irvine, where he made his mark on the UCI swim team, and wrote a successful humor column. A fascinating read penned by an expert hand.Award-winning author Neal Shusterman grew up in Brooklyn, New York, where he began writing at an early age. Everlost is turning into Everwild, right before readers’ eyes.
Each character grows, developing new aspects of their personality and finding out just how far they’ll go to achieve their aims, whether anyone else likes it or not. In this sequel to Everlost (2006), Shusterman has once again created a world that is beautiful and imaginative yet increasingly eerie and grim. Allie can move back to the real world by hijacking the body of a living being, but she can’t move on into the light, even if she wanted to. Nick, the Chocolate Ogre, has already discovered how to send these lost souls into the light and is determined to fight Mary before he turns completely into a chocolate statue. Mary seeks to trap children there forever as her loyal-but unwitting-followers. It’s a world between, where lost souls search for safety, for permanence or just a feeling of belonging (not unlike real life). Everlost is where children go when they die, if they miss their chance to go into the light or are just not ready to transition into the hereafter.
