Neal Shusterman is an award-winning, illustrious author who wrote a plethora of thought-provoking novels including Full Tilt and Everlost. In Full Tilt, the main character, Blake, is trapped in a terrifying amusement park where he gets tormented by a girl named Cassandra. In order to survive and save his younger brother, Quinn, he has to fight against his biggest fears on seven eerie rides. On the other hand, Everlost is about two, young adolescents who get into a car accident. However, they aren’t dead, but they aren’t exactly alive either. They are in an alternate universe somewhere between life and death called Everlost. These two books exemplify Neal Shusterman’s traditional trademarks as well as his unusually creative differences.
