Everlost Summary

The book I am reading is titled “Everlost.” I was really fascinated by this part of the reading. One part that is interesting is how the children in the story are still wearing the cloths that they died in. I thought that was a strange idea that people from the “Everlost,” would always be in the same clothing. That has to be weird for the characters Allie and Nick. They both probably spent most of their time changing cloths or picking out outfits to wear to the mall or to parties. Now the cloths they were wearing were the going to on them for the rest of eternity. So far in the book I do not know if that will change as they move from the “Everlost,” to another place for the non living. If I were Allie or Nick I would want to wear my best shirt and jeans since it was going to be on me for eternity.
Another fascinating part of this reading was the idea that in the “Everlost,” the non-living could cross over and get things from the living. This caught my attention because a boy named Speedo was able to get a birthday cake from the living world. It seems that if something is made with love and care then is destroyed it can cross over to the “Everlost.” The cake was made for a girl named Suzie’s 5 year old birthday party. When Suzie tried to pull the cake down to her so she could have some frosting, the cake fell and was totally messed up. Since the cake was destroyed Speedo had a chance to take it to the “Everlost.”
