The Girl in a Coma


Book Description

Allison Briscoe is your average fifteen-year-old-until someone tries to kill her. Shot in the head, her doctors and family think she is in a coma, but in fact, though she cannot move, she can think, she can hear, and she can dream. Each night, Allison lives vicariously through her pioneer ancestors, experiencing their adventures through their eyes. First, she enters the world of Rebecca Haun, a fifteen-year-old rebel who lived in Pennsylvania during the Revolutionary War. To prove a friend innocent of murder, Rebecca betrays her Mennonite beliefs and joins the Women's Brigade with George Washington's rag-tag army at Valley Forge. And each day, Allison struggles to find a way to show her family that she is awake—a goal that becomes increasingly desperate when she realizes that whoever shot her has come back to finish the job.




The Girl In A Coma


Book Description

Coma, interesting word. Sounds more like comma - not literally, but metaphorically; "not a full stop to life, but a comma." Imagine you're on a hospital bed, apparently not alive to whatever is happening around you. However, you can hear it, experiencing everything, and trying to talk to the people you love and the world outside. The book is thoughtfully written by the author that crams a great deal of emotions like, distress, fear, frustration, as well as her hope for recovery. Throughout the journey, the readers will feel the terror and agony that being in a coma brings, especially for children. It is an experience different for everyone. Depending on how deep it is, some people can actually feel what is happening around them, while others don't. A Girl in a Coma is a series of events, good and bad, for a girl who is unconscious and helpless. The day of wetness came out of hands as it was a stormy, thundering, and flashing afternoon. Fire, screams, and pain went throughout the hospital. There were terrible and unbelievable hot burning flames of fire everywhere - everything is a twist and turn of a rollercoaster ride. The girl lies in hospital. She can't speak, move and eat anything. But she could hear and was well aware. Her parents try desperately to reach her. Until one day, against hospital rules, Dad brings Melisa, her dog, into the hospital. Can Melisa bring the girl back to life? The Girl in a Coma does not just focus on negative events. The author, Sanvi Bhatt, illustrates that positive things can come out of even the worst situations.
