The Great Blue Yonder

I'm listening to "The Great Blue Yonder" with Audible app. I read the young adult novel several years ago and I was really moved. The story was about a beloved dead boy who was accidentally hit by a lorry. He couldn't say farewell to his family and friends. 

When I read the book, I just started extensive reading in English, so it was quite hard to read then. I managed to finish the book. It was a good memory for me.
