This was a beautiful, emotional story until the epilogue.

I liked this book but hated the epilogue! It completely cheapened the book.

Finn McAllister is dead. His life ended when he drove his bike over a cliff while chased by a black van. But Finn has unfinished business that he still needs attend to, like finding out who drove the black van and killed him, so he won't move on before that. While Finn is going on about his business, he meets a girl named Isabella Rojas (also dead), who had dissappeared four months ago and was never found. Finn decides to help Isabella so that she can find herself and move on as well.

Short chaptered easy to read book, with enough things to keep you interested in the story. The illustrations are a nice touch (especially with Finns quite dryish humor) and the pacing of the story works fine. Overall, an ok book to read, nothing that special, but still interesting enough to read. 3,5 stars to 3 stars.

This was a really solid kids book that acknowledges the subject of kids dying whilst also maintaining humour and growth and learning. It has a beautiful friendship at its centre. But the epilogue. WHY THE EPILOGUE? I hate that the epilogue happened at all.

A fun, fast paced story that I read aloud to my middle schoolers. Lots of laughs and a good overall message. We had mixed feelings about the twist at the end.
