“I edge closer and now I know that it’s not teddy lying there. It’s me”(pg.17). Imagine experiencing out-of-body experience after a car accident and seeing your mom and dad being zipped in a plastic bag by the paramedics, not finding your brother, and seeing yourself in the car covered in blood. What would you do? As Mia goes on this out-of-body experience on trying to finding her brother Teddy, and her family and friends waiting until she wakes up.
