Quotes
“Any reader who loves snarky, sarcastic teens, ghost stories, romance, and loves/hates to shop will enjoy sixteen-year-old Manhattanite Sarah’s shock at dying and waking up at Minnesota’s Mall of America…This sparkling debut pulls out all the stops: sweet, sad, hopeful, funny, and romantic in turn, it’s a story bound to make readers laugh even as they cry.” Booklist (starred review)
“A feel-good novel about being dead? Only in this quirky, even romantic story…Sarah’s conversational, quick-paced, first-person narrative, full of ‘deadly’ puns and idioms, recounts how she and her new BFFs (even in death?) work together. And when Sarah finds love in the process, she realizes she’s only learned how to live by being dead. Sure, the plot is inconceivable, but isn’t life? And death?” Kirkus Reviews
“Humorous and offbeat.” School Library Journal
“Readers looking for a warm-and-fuzzy story about unexpected love and second chances will enjoy the humor and romance of this tale.” Children’s Literature
