Heaven is for Real

The book I chose to read this trimester is called Heaven is for Real by Todd Burpo. I chose to read this book because it seems very interesting to see what comes after our life. I also chose to read this because there is a movie that is coming out very soon on this book and the movie looks really good so I needed to start this book before I saw the movie.
I have read the beginning of the book so far and what has happened is that a little 4 year old boy , named Colton, is having stomach aches. His parents and the doctor both think it is just the stomach flu but what they don't no is that it is something way more than just the flu. He is very sick one day and then the next day he feels fine. That day, his family had planned to take a trip. They took a trip only a few hours away to a zoo. While he was at the zoo he got to hold a very poisonous snake, which made him very excited. During this trip to the zoo, his stomach ache comes back and they are confused because they thought it was gone. He is feeling very sick so the family decides to go back to the hotel they are staying at. Right when they walk into the hotel room Colton runs as fast as he can into the bathroom and throws up. As the night continues, Colton is up at the toilet every 30 minutes throwing up. During the night his little sister also gets sick. His parents now for sure think that his flu is back and they also believe his sister caught it. The next morning,they decide to leave. Now we just have to see what happens next!
I predict that his stomach will get worse and the doctors won't know what to do. I also predict that he will go into some type of surgery and possible die while he is in surgery.
