#31 - Rewind

This book by William Sleator starts out with the main character, Peter, watching his own funeral.  As he is being lain to rest, he sees a bright light and a voice tells him that he has the ability to redo his life from any point.  He chooses to go back to the night before and relive his life, but he dies again!  He is then given a second chance, and chooses another time to go back to.  The same thing happens.  He then gets a third chance and must make all new decisions.  What decisions does he make?  Do those decisions help him stay alive?  Or will he die a fourth time?  You will have to read to find out.

This was a very quick read, but one that I feel that most middle school students would enjoy.
