The Wrap-Up List is a great YA book told from the point of view of Gabriela. Gabriela lives in a modern-day town where one percent of the fatalities happen in a very strange way, called “departing.” Gabriela’s group of friends is fascinated with the concept, until Gabriela receives her own death letter.
The book has an interesting mystery to explore in this alternate world where Gabriela and her friends must deal with first loves, a country going to war, and the idea of dying so young.
I recommend this thoughtful and engaging book to readers in grades 7-12.
