When you die, your spirit wakes in the north, in the City of the Dead. There, you wander the cold until one of your living loved ones finds you, says “Goodbye,” and Sends you to the next world.
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.
Sophie takes the long pilgrimage north — by train, by foot, by boat; over ruined mountains and plains and oceans — with her gruff, distant, and widowed grandmother. Yet as Sophie struggles to return what death stole from her, the journey north offers her many hard, unexpected lessons about what to hold on to, when to let go, and who she must truly bring back to life.
A coming-of-age fable about love, loss, and acceptance that resonates with lovers of Green Angel, The Little Prince, and classic fairytales. Magical without having any magic at all, The Girl Who Came Back to Life is a meditative folktale that offers hard-won lessons to readers of any age.

- Narrated with the voice of a classic fairytale written long ago
- Short chapters and novella-length, can be read in one sitting
- Bittersweet ending, with themes of grief and acceptance
