If I Stay by Gayle Forman


Mia is a young girl who has a great family, a cool boyfriend and loyal BFF's.  She plays cello beautifully and is destined to become a great cellists.  But then when she and her family go on errands, a car crashes into them and only she is left.  But she is in a comma in the hospital with the ability to drift like a ghost and hear what her family and friends as they talk to her unknowing for sure if she can hear them or not.  Story is also told in flashbacks from time to time. Really great story and up for a California Young Readers Medal Award.
