Anyone know the title of this book? ?
I read a book last year sometime that was very good. However, I can't for the life of me remember what it was called and I'd like to read something else by the same author. It was either juvenile or young adult fantasy. It was about a boy who's little sister was in a coma because she'd been in an accident of some kind. He finds these people who are doing an archaeological dig and they've found an upside down tree that they think is a portal to some other world or realm. For some reason he believes this tree can help him get his sister to wake up. I know it sounds crazy, but it was really good. Help please!
Yes! That's it. Thank you.

"Darkhenge" by Catherine Fisher
http://www.amazon.com/Darkhenge-Catherine-Fisher/d...
"entwining Celtic lore, fairy-tale archetypes, and family tragedy. While working at a top-secret archaeological dig, Rob learns that the site's buried henge may be a portal to reach his comatose sister's wandering spirit. When he enters the world of Anwyn, he discovers that Chloe's coma is a voluntary withdrawal, springing from years of pent-up grievances toward her brother. As in David Almond's Skellig (1999), Fisher conveys complex human emotions through fantasy; teen angst has rarely had such a visceral expression as in the boggy, unpredictable wilderness of Chloe's self-created prison. The sibling rivalry never quite succeeds as the plot's psychological linchpin, and some readers may tire of the numerous folklore elements, many elliptically referring to the somewhat obscure Taliesin legend. Others, though, especially teens who enjoyed the Celtic underpinnings and mystical backdrops of Susan Cooper's The Dark Is Rising novels, will thrill to the magical, atmospheric setting in a "landscape rayed with dreams and visions"
