Between
There is life after death, and eleven-year-old Jo is about to find out what it’s like. When Jo leaves home in search of her mysteriously-disappeared parents, she never expects that she’ll instead find a unicorn. The unicorn is dead, and though she doesn’t yet know it, so is her friend Vikram. The serious, strait-laced boy is from Between, a transitional world between lives where souls wait for their chances to be reincarnated. Jo’s fierce, independent spirit convinces Vikram to take her Between, in search of her parents, but she quickly learns that it’s no place for a living girl. She’s not supposed to be here, and she’ll be trapped Between, forever unless she gets back home quickly. Even more, some souls aren’t content to wait for reincarnation, and possessing Jo’s body is their ticket back to the living world. Pursued by restless spirits and facing the prospect of eternal imprisonment Between, Vikram and Jo must get her home and restore the balance between their worlds before it’s too late.

Indescribable feelings for this book!
This was really short read, and I read it in one sitting.
Words escape me...somehow this debut book has evoked emotion in me somewhat profoundly, but I feel that it could affect people differently depending on where they are in life.
Besides the pure joy in the well written book—a luxury I rarely find when reading a “free” book, (Kindle Unlimited)—the author somehow took the subjects of abject poverty and child neglect mixed it with a touch of supernatural and dabs of foreign culture to create an almost whimsical, dreamy, surprise-gem!
It was beautifully descriptive. The book also came to a satisfactory end, tying up most loose ends of what I considered important to have closure on. The story makes you yearn for more, yet happy for it’s hope-themed conclusion. I feel like a better person for having read this.
