Fiction. Gifted cellist Mia awaits the verdict on her Juilliard audition and is brooding about the ways that leaving Oregon to pursue a career in music would complicate her life (for one, she'd be leaving her rocker boyfriend, Adam, behind). Then, when a peaceful drive with her family ends in a tragic accident, Mia is rushed to the hospital, comatose, and all of the choices she might make are distilled into one: whether to live or die. Told from Mia's perspective (while she is unconscious), this heartbreakingly beautiful story about the power of love is reminiscent of Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones, has all the drama and poignancy of a Lurlene McDaniel book, and will more than satisfy fans of full-blooded characters and masterful writing.

There, Marcelo faces challenges that anyone can relate to--having to tell true friends from false ones, doing the right thing even if it's dangerous, and taking the risk of loving someone. Unpredictable, moving, and memorable, Marcelo in the Real World gives its readers a wholly different way of viewing the world.
