Cool! by Michael Morpurgo

Michael Morpurgo's inspiring new story of Robbie, a boy in a coma -- victim of
a car accident. Locked inside his own head, able to hear but not move or speak,
Robbie tries to keep himself from slipping ever deeper into unconsciousness.
Robbie, football fan and animal lover, runs after his dog Lucky one day when he
chases a cat and is hit by a car. Unconscious, Robbie lies in hospital, unable
to speak, move or eat. But he can hear; he is aware, even though his family and
friends don't know this. Inside his head, we hear Robbie's thoughts; on his Mum
and sister, why his parents are separated. His friends and family try
desperately to reach him -- even Zola, his favourite Chelsea footballer, comes
to see him. And still Robbie can't 'wake up'. Until one day, against hospital
rules, Dad brings Lucky into the hospital. Can Lucky bring Robbie back to life?
