This Book is about a little boy and a dog that both got hit by a car. The little boy got put in a coma. And was being tried to be woken up by his parents. I recommend this book because there were a lot of chances that he could have been woken up but didn't. And the climax is really good, you can make a lot of notes especially predictions. 
What will wake him up?

This series always has you guessing, and never tells you the entire story, always leaving a cliffhanger. The End(the last book in the series) has a plot twist that would change the entire story if you read it all over again.

This book is About a boy named Jacques Papier. Nobody likes him, well, he knows that because everyone ignores him... Everyone other than his twin sister. He and his twin sister are the best of friends. But one day, he discovers who he really is. He then meets someone like him who tells him about a place which is similar to paradise. He then decides to go there. However, he doesn't quite get to the place he wanted to go to, but, from the place he reaches, he embarks on an adventure. Join him as he finds out more about the world,  about imaginary friends, and starts to feel a deep longing to go home. But can he even call that place his home any more? And will he go back there to his twin sister and best friend, ever? I mainly liked this book because of it's ending, the rest of the book has it's peaks but is not too good. It's the best book I have read that is not in a series, but I thought that others would like this book better than the other series I have read.

(It is one mystery in three books)

I'm going to tell you first of all why I wanted to read this book. When I read the blurb of this book something caught my eye, it said that he was the only cat to survive the titanic and I was like, hang on a minute tons of humans didn't survive that event and know cats hate water. So I was curious to see what this book had to say about this cat. And thats just the reason I recommend this book to you guys instead of others.
