ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"Elsewhere" by Gabrielle Zevin tells the story of fifteen-year-old Liz Hall, who dies and finds herself in a unique afterlife called Elsewhere. In this world, people age backward, and Liz must navigate the complexities of her new existence while grappling with her sudden death and her longing for her past life on Earth. The narrative follows Liz as she forms relationships with other residents of Elsewhere, including her grandmother, Betty, and a fellow newcomer, Thandi. She also encounters Owen, with whom she develops a complicated romantic connection. Liz struggles to understand her new reality and how to move forward when she learns that Owen still loves his deceased wife, Emily. The book explores themes of love, loss, identity, and the search for meaning in the face of mortality. Liz initially clings to the familiar, but eventually realizes she has the ability to shape her own future.
