编辑《天蓝色的彼岸》
作者艾利克斯・希尔向我们讲述了一个小男孩哈里因车祸去了另一个世界，正等着去天蓝色的彼岸，但他觉得自己还有很多事没做完：他想念着他的亲人、朋友、老师，他想知道没有他的日子，他们会怎么办。却又不知如何传达他的心声。直到他碰上一个叫阿瑟的幽灵，于是他跟阿瑟的幽灵偷偷溜下凡间，而哈里看到的情况却出乎他的预料：最好的朋友跟他的“死敌”一起玩，他以为他的死会让全班十分悲伤，可同学们却还和从前一样的上课，他的位置坐上了另一个人。哈里忽然意识到生活不会因他而改变，他死了，但生活还在。 当哈里来到电影院，很惊异的发现有那么多的幽灵躲藏在这里，这让他觉得难过，有那么多的人舍不得这个世界，有那么多的人还惦记着世界里面的人，但他们永远和世界隔着一道玻璃，那么清晰的看见却又那么遥远，但这一切都已经来不及了。
艾利克斯・希尔的其他作品：《神秘的易拉罐》给我们述说了智慧、勇气的故事。
