From international bestselling author, Scott Westerfeld, comes Afterworlds, a brand new, thought-provoking, suspenseful thriller you won't be able to put down!
Darcy Patel has put college and everything else on hold to publish her teen novel, Afterworlds. Arriving in New York with no apartment or friends she wonders whether she's made the right decision until she falls in with a crowd of other seasoned and fledgling writers who take her under their wings…
Told in alternating chapters is Darcy's novel, a suspenseful thriller about Lizzie, a teen who slips into the 'Afterworld' to survive a terrorist attack.
But the Afterworld is a place between the living and the dead and as Lizzie drifts between our world and that of the Afterworld, she discovers that many unsolved - and terrifying - stories need to be reconciled. And when a new threat resurfaces, Lizzie learns her special gifts may not be enough to protect those she loves and cares about most
Afterworlds is my first Scott Westerfeld and I have to say,
I wasn't disappointed in what I was promised in writing style. It's very easy
to get into, and though I did have a problem with one half of the story, it
kept me compelled to read it. Now, the behind-the-scenes look at publishing in
YA was fun, if not a little terrifying to every person out there who are
inspiring writers- especially the younger market.
