SENDING
When
you die, your spirit wakes in the frozen north, in the City of the
Dead, and waits there until someone comes along to Send you to the next
world by telling you a simple and heartfelt “Goodbye.”
This
single word, spoken by someone who loves you, releases your soul from
this world and lets you finish your journey to the next life. The City
of the Dead is difficult, dangerous, and expensive to reach. You must
join the steady stream of mourners who pour north at all times to Send
their loved ones, unwilling to let their dead wander forever through the
cold.
When

After her parents die, 12-year-old Sophie refuses to release their spirits. Instead, she resolves to travel to the City of the Dead to bring her mother and father’s spirits back home with her.
Taking the long pilgrimage north with her gruff & distant grandmother—by train, by foot, by boat; over ruined mountains and plains and oceans—Sophie struggles to return what death stole from her. Yet the journey offers her many hard, unexpected lessons—what to hold on to, when to let go, and who she must truly bring back to life.
