Stuck in Neutral


by Terry Trueman
Lexile: 820
Genre: Realistic Fiction

Shawn McDaniel is trapped in his own body - literally. Unable to communicate with the world around him, yet able to hear, process, and understand things that many "normal" people couldn't. Shawn relies on his ability to listen to figure out the world around him. But when listening leads him to suspect that his own father might be thinking about ending Shawn's life, his quest to communicate takes on a new importance. How can he help his family understand that he values his life and isn't miserable like they assume?
