Far Rockaway by Charlie Fletcher

Cat Manno is in trouble.  Whilst sulking during a pre Christmas visit to her grandfather in New York with her parents she has stepped off the pavement and been hit by a fire engine.  Saved by her grandfather but suffering terrible head injuries she fights for survival.  As her body wanders the edges of life in operation theatres and intensive care inside her skull she is fighting for survival in high adventures inside the classic stories her grandfather read to her: Last of the Mohicans, Kidnapped!, Treasure Island.  A wonderful book about the magic that exists within stories but also a gripping pacy adventure.
