  4. Summary Page • Tessa gets hit in the face with a dodge ball • Finds herself in what she thinks is heaven • She relives her life • She tries to figure out the answer to one burning question if only she knew what it was

  5. Likes and dislikes • Likes: I liked that the book was written like one big poem. I also liked the storyline it was interesting. • Dislikes: The end of the book because you go through her whole life to find that at the end she decides to be nice to people. It’s a very disappointing ending.

  6. Vocabulary page • Swoon-Faint, she almost swooned from fright • Notoriety-the quality or state of being notorious, His comment about the President has given him a notoriety that he enjoys very much. • Commodity-an economic good, agricultural commodities like grain and corn • Saline-containing or resembling common table salt; salty or salt like, she rinsed her mouth with a saline solution • Unbidden-not bidden, unasked, uninvited, thoughts that come to the mind unbidden • Adage-a saying often in metaphorical form that embodies a common observation, that old adage, “the early bird gets the worm”

  7. You should read this book because… • You could relate to the main character • It has a good storyline • You can’t put the book down

  8. Lesson learned/theme • The lesson learned/theme of this book is: You only have one life don’t take if for granted.

  9. Back review page The storyline of the book was awesome and I really liked the way that Wendy Mass wrote the book in poetic form. I thought it was creative the way the book went from reliving Tessa’s life in a dream back to real life. I would rate this book 3 out of 5 whales

  10. If you could change the end of the story • If I could change the ending of this story I would: • Continue the story a bit more to explain how her life goes after the accident • Have her realize something different about her life

  11. What character can you relate to • I can relate to the main character Tessa because: • She is in high school • She is a teenager • She loves to shop
