Book description
Discover the beautiful stories of Michael Morpurgo, author of Warhorse
and the nation's favourite storyteller
Michael Morpurgo's inspiring 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?
