Review

"Written in poetic language that's plainly accessible (with a Spanish glossary included), THE AFTERLIFE is a provocative, sobering look at grief, love, death, and the meaninglessness created by murder. It's grim, but like Chuy, it's sad rather than bitter."

"While the premise could sound dark and morose, the novel is instead filled with hope and elegance. The author counterbalances difficult ideas with moments of genuine tenderness as well as a provocative lesson about the importance of savoring every moment--a lesson that Chuy, once fretful and insecure, comes to understand."

Publisher's note

Chuy, a senior at East Fresno High School lives on as a ghost after his brutal murder in the restroom of a club where he had gone to dance.

Annotation

After he is stabbed to death, a 17-year-old named Chuy experiences life as a ghost. Seeing his former life from a new perspective, Chuy gains new understanding and attempts to comprehend what will become of him in the afterlife. As he undertakes this journey he finds a friend, and perhaps true love, in the form of another ghostly being named Crystal.
