After Life by Gayle Forman

 

The premise of this book is amazing—Amber rides her bike home from school just like any other day, but it is not any other day. Amber has been dead for seven years but she doesn't know it. Her family is in shock; they try to hide her existence from the world. But Amber wants to confront her boyfriend and her former best friend, and she wants her life back. Her baby sister, now seven years older, is her rock. Together they try to figure out what is going on and what it means that Amber is back. This is a compelling YA book solidly in the high school category. (Not recommended for middle school)
