Wendy Mass • Age:46 • She lives in New Jersey • She has a husband, twin daughter and son, and a cat • Other books she wrote: A Mango shaped space, Jeremy fink and the Meaning of Life, The Candymakers

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
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.

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