Title: COOL Author: Michael Morpurgo Date: 29 may 2011 Genre: Children Rating: 5/5

Plot summery: this book is about a boy named Robbie who got hit by a car chasing after his dog lucky and now he is in a coma. He can hear but can’t speak or move. Everyone comes to visit Robbie but they all say the same thing “wake up Robbie” or “get well soon they never actually tell him anything like who won the foot ball match or something that’s been going on at school. Robbie’s dad tries everything to wake him but nothing works, his dad even organises one of the world’s greatest football player but nothing seems to work. A couple of weeks later still in the coma Robbie has a dream that lucky was dead. Then his dad came in and said that he had left lucky in the car without the widows open. Robbie thought that this was a dream then his mum said why don’t you bring him in his so his dad went and got lucky out of the car. Lucky came racing in and jumped on his bed Robbie thought this was dream I have to wake up to see if he is alive and he did he woke with the licking of lucky.

Personal response: this book was very interesting because I had no idea what a coma actually was until I read this book. My favourite part is the end when lucky wakes Robbie up and lucky is the hero. This book was AWESOME!!!!!!!!
