With a contract in hand, she arrives in New York City with no apartment, no friends, and all the wrong clothes. But lucky for Darcy, she's taken under the wings of other seasoned and fledgling writers who help her navigate the city and the world of writing and publishing. Over the course of a year, Darcy finishes her book, faces critique, and falls in love. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWoven into Darcy's personal story is her novel, \u003ci\u003eAfterworlds\u003c\/i\u003e, a suspenseful thriller about a teen who slips into the \"Afterworld\" to survive a terrorist attack. The Afterworld is a place between the living and the dead, and where many unsolved--and terrifying--stories need to be reconciled. Like Darcy, Lizzie too falls in love...until a new threat resurfaces, and her special gifts may not be enough to protect those she cares about most.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781481422345\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 608\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.55h x 6.31w x 1.68d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Tayshas Reading - Commended\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/16\/2014 pg. 70\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/30\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2014 pg. 78\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2014 pg. 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews Fall Preview\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2014 pg. 81\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRomantic Times\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2014 pg. 41 - Excellent\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoice of Youth Advocates\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2014 - Recommended - Hard To Beat\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2014 pg. 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/07\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2014 pg. 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/09\/2014 pg. 33\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePW Children's Starred Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2014 pg. 95\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSLJ's Best Books\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2014 pg. 26\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/12\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2015 - Superior,Well Above Average\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e168918 \/ Afterworlds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.8 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 22\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Scott Westerfeld","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43140500816053,"sku":"9781481422345","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_8a4108e5-e6e0-4a74-b978-83d727a067d1.jpg?v=1695700514","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/afterworlds-9781481422345","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
