About this listen
Michael Morpurgo's inspiring new story of Robbie, a boy in a coma – victim of a car accident. Locked inside his own head, able to hear but not move or speak, Robbie tries to keep himself from slipping ever deeper into unconsciousness.
Michael Morpurgo's inspiring story of Robbie, a boy in a coma – victim of a car accident. Locked inside his own head, able to hear but not move or speak, Robbie tries to keep himself from slipping ever deeper into unconsciousness. Robbie, football fan and animal lover, runs after his dog one day when he chases a cat and is hit by a car. Unconscious, but conscious, Robbie lies in hospital, unable to speak, move or eat. But he can hear; he is aware, even though his family and friends don't know this. Inside his head, we hear Robbie's thoughts; on his Mum and sister, why his parents are separated. His friends and family try desperately to reach him – even Zola, his favourite Chelsea footballer, comes to see him. And still Robbie can't 'wake up'. Until one day, against hospital rules, Dad brings Lucky into the hospital. Can Lucky bring Robbie back to life?

It was amazing and the ending was so heartwarming.
This is one of the best books I’ve ever read. I always felt the need to read more and more until the end.

Cool!
What else can I say? It's a short, sweet little tale from an absolute legend of his craft.
The narrator performed excellently, making each character instantly recognisable.
I remember reading the book of this many years back. Even then I found it an endearing tale. This audiobook only reinforces that. It's an excellently performed rendition of Mr. Morpurgo's tale of a young boy trapped in a coma. An absolute must listen, not only for fans of Mr. Morpurgo's works, but for anyone who enjoys quality literature!
