Everlost Summary
The book I am reading is called “Everlost.” So far this book is fascinating. In the beginning of the book the main character Allie is riding in a car with her father when there is a sudden accident. She is thrown through the car window and collides with a boy that smells like chocolate. That boy’s name is Nick. While this is happening another boy Lief, who is playing in the nearby forest, hears the crash and goes over to see the damage. After seeing the damage Lief finds Allie and Nick on the ground knocked out. After a long time he finally wakes Allie up, then Nick wakes up also. They are both very concerned about the accident and want to go to the road to see if anyone is still there. Lief walks them up to the top of a cliff where they can get to the road. The road is cleared and they cannot really see where the accident took place. Both Allie and Nick want to get help. Allie and Nick tried to wave at drivers passing in their cars on the road. Unfortunately no one stopped for them. Allie even tried to get a Greyhound bus driver’s attention. She walked out in the middle of the road, when the bus got close she tried to jump out of the way. Instead of getting out of the way she ended up getting hit by the bus and going all the way through it. At this point in the book Allie and Nick understand that they are not living. It was also peculiar when Lief tells Allie and Nick that they had not been alive for 272 days or 9 months.
So far this book is interesting. At the beginning I thought it was strange that Allie would collide with Nick during the car accident. I was thinking that when they would wake up both would play with Lief for a while then go home. I did not even think that the children in the book were not alive. I was really surprised when I read that it was 9 months since they passed. The whole time Lief was trying to wake Allie and Nick up.
