The Lovely BonesThe Lovely Bones

When we first meet Susie Salmon, she is already in heaven. As she looks down from this strange new place, she tells her tale, in the fresh and spirited voice of a fourteen-year-old girl. And in the weeks following her death, Susie watches life continuing without her--rumours about her disappearance, her family's hopes she will be found, her killer covering his tracks. As months pass, her family and friends pass through grief and begin adjusting to the loss, and Susie explores the place called heaven. Everything she ever wanted appears as soon as she thinks of it--except the thing she wants most: to be back with the people she loved on Earth.
