The girl Allie and the boy Nick, who died in a car accident, do not die, but wake up in some kind of intermediate world, where there are children who are “half-dead” like them. In addition, in this world, like in a museum, everything that is worthy of being preserved is preserved. Allie strives with all her heart to return to the world of the living. Nick does not have such aspirations, but there is another, very important thing for him. Puzzling adventures, an exciting world, bright characters, deep feelings - all this is in the book by Neal Shusterman, the first part of the trilogy about the skinjackers of Interworld. This is a book about children, but... hardly for children. That is, they, of course, also read it with pleasure, but teenagers from 13 to 100 will learn a lot of deep thoughts, wonderful lyrics and soft, not at all American humor here.

As always, many thanks to Linnea for immeasurable support and editorial skill.

A faithful colleague of Uolis helped with the cover. This is not his first work with me, and every time he does it at a high level and completely unselfishly. Thank you very much! sonate10
