If I Stay

by Gayle Forman

 

Written by Kate Bolland from Stilton Primary School,

 

If I Stay is a novel by Gayle Forman, which is now a major movie production. This book is very recent, my Mum read it and she enjoyed it and my best friends are both interested in reading it.

 

The story is about a seventeen year old, Mia, who gets caught up in a car accident. Her parents are dead. She doesn’t know whether her younger brother is dead either. She is in a coma, but can hear everything the people around her is saying. She can also see herself standing over her hospital bed, looking at her family in distress and seeing her boyfriend and best friend try their best to see her, for just one last time. Because you never know, she might just die when you look away.

 

Day after day in the hospital bed, lying there, listening to the nurses, to her family and most important of all, whether to live or die.

What do you think she’ll do?

 

I recommend this book for ages 13+ and people who like a bit of romance; you can buy this book at WHSmiths, Waterstones and most good bookstores!
