(3) 4-6 In this companion to Furthermore, now-thirteen-year-old Alice is tasked through her Surrender (a magical coming-of-age ceremony) with helping similarly aged Laylee, a resentful orphan fated to prep the dead for the afterlife. The omniscient narrator's chatty tone lightens the book's darker, more horror-like elements, as does Alice's friend Oliver, who again accompanies her on the quest. Mafi's vivid language further enhances this Persian-inspired fantasy.
