Robbie is left in a coma after a car accident in Michael Morpurgo’s inspiring new story. Locked inside his own head, able to hear everything but unable to move or speak, Robbie fights to stop himself slipping ever deeper into unconsciousness. A football fan and animal lover, Robbie is hit by a car while chasing after his dog Lucky, who has bolted after a cat, and now lies unconscious in hospital, unable to move, speak or eat. Yet he can hear; he is aware, even though none of his family or friends realise it. Inside his head, we follow Robbie’s private thoughts – about his mum and sister, about why his parents separated. His friends and family try desperately to reach him, even Zola, his favourite Chelsea footballer, comes to visit – but still Robbie can’t ‘wake up’. Until, against hospital rules, Dad brings Lucky in to see him. Can Lucky be the one to bring Robbie back to life?
