Susie Salmon is dead, murdered actually. The lovely bone is a book that miraculously captures the life of a murdered girl and everything that happened afterwards.
Susie died and went to heaven, well what she thought was her heaven and watched over he griefstrucken family and her murderer trying his best to cover up his tracks. As Susie watches life go one without her, she learns to let go and forgive.
My favourite part is when Susie accidentally falls down from her heaven and swaps places with her old classmate Ruth Connors. She then calls her brother Buckley. I found that extremely touching because, when Buckley picked up the phone, susie suddenly gets pulled back to her heaven.
Though years passed since Susie's death; her friends and family still mourn. Ecspecially her family who still don't accept the fact that Susie is dead. Susie witnesses her family gradually fall apart when her mother leaves them . The years go on and Susie finally lets go of her past and tries to move on; to forgive and forget.
I recommended this book because, it teaches you various life lessons while telling an exciting story. I think The Lovely Bones is suitable for people above age 10.
