Every so often a book comes along with a premise so fresh and arresting it seems to exist in a category all its own. Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin, is such a book.

The New York Times Book Review

Fascinating. Zevin, in her first novel for young people, bends the laws of physics and biology to create an intricately imagined world

Publishers Weekly

So convincing you find yourself wanting to read the book backwards when you've finished

Sunday Telegraph

Pose[s] intriguing questions about identity and connection
