Her most recent novel If I Stay is about a 17 year old girl who has been involved in a tragic car accident. The novel follows Mia's experience as she lies in a coma fully aware of what is going on around her and everything her visitors say and do. Feeling the agony of loss of those closest to her yet aware of the abounding love of those that remain, she must make the choice to hang on or let go.

Hi,

WHY DİD I CHOOSE THİS MUSİC?

I choosed this book because of  the book name is If I Stay and the music name is If I Don Not Stay.

SUMMARY OF THE BOOK

In a single moment, everything changes. Seventeen-year-old Mia has no memory of the accident; she can only recall riding along the snow-wet Oregon road with her family. Then, in a blink, she finds herself watching as her own damaged body is taken from the wreck...

A sophisticated, layered, and heartachingly beautiful story about the power of family and friends, the choices we all make - and the ultimate choice Mia commands.

                                                                COMPARE/CONTRAST
 I compare The Graveyard Book and If I Stay. The graveyard book has got vampire but If I Stay has not got any vampire. Their places are difficult. For example, The Graveyard Book usually pass in the grave but If I stay pass in the hospital which is Mia in. Main characters are same because they are not live but not alive too. They are same because their mothers dead. They are different because their point of view is different. If I stay's narrator is first person limited but the graveyard book's narrator is third person limited. Mia has ot boyfriend but Bod has not got any girlfriend. I think they have enemy. Bod's enemy is The Man Jack; Mİa's enemy is Grim Reaper.They are same because they are children. Bod can talk ghost but Mia can not talk ghost. They have rules in their life. For example, Bod can not say anything about ghost; Mia can not go in herown to other land. The graveyard book has too much character but If I stay has 5 character. Mia loves classic music but ı think Bod loves mettalica. Mia play cello but Bod play anything. I think the graveyard can not be in our life but ıf ı stay can be.
