The day she and most of her fellow students ended up here. The twins, Mark and David, were also on the bus, but David did not come here with them. David was sent across the valley to the other side. Mark convinces Sunel to help him find his brother, no matter what the dangers might be. Fiction: Supernatural Thriller

What Readers are saying:
An interesting and engaging story!
I thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end.
The author has given us an interesting look at the consequences and possibilities of the 'hereafter'.
The end caught me completely by surprise but I was thrilled with the outcome.
I would highly recommend this book to all lovers of fiction novels!
This book captured my imagination from the very first sentence.
Highly recommended!
Attempting to thrash out the concept of the "Hereafter" whilst making it an entertaining tale must be a fair challenge. One the author takes on to produce a most compelling read.
All in all, a great read with a sub textual message that the readers will have to interoperate themselves.
I think this is a book that young adults will enjoy and find creative enough to mention to their friends.

This is a middle grade / Young Adult novel that imagines a possible scenario of just what is waiting for us in the afterlife.
When young teenager Sunel finds herself and sixty of her former classmates have died, she is initially in a state of shock.
To make matters worse, she is the reason the bus crashed. This means she is the reason everyone is dead.
As the shock wears off she finds herself in a world that is very similar and yet very different from the one she left behind.
My favorite scene is when the teens are led into the Hall of Judgment and are told they will be called in one at at a time. Upon entering the testing room Sunel sees three doors.
“The first door says Recycle. Next to Recycle, there is Rehabilitation. And next to Rehabilitation, there is Rapture.” I thought this was very clever.
This book touches on many interesting and important topics. It is not often that you find a YA book that openly discusses the afterlife. It seems to be a topic that Young Adult authors do not embrace for some reason, and the few authors who do write about the topic choose ghost story-type tales.
Kudos to Author Lynette Ferreira for tackling such a controversial topic.
This book also has elements of other issues important to today’s youth such as bullying and peer pressure as well as taking responsibility for one’s actions.
With the variety of characters, readers should be able to find at least one that they identify with. I think that young teens and middle grade readers will enjoy this book and hopefully it will open up dialogue about the issues detailed in it’s pages.
