Stuck in Neutral

By: Terry Trueman

Narrated by: Johnny Heller

This ""intense reading experience""* is a Printz Honor Book.

Shawn McDaniel's life is not what it may seem to anyone looking at him. He is glued to his wheelchair, unable to voluntarily move a muscle—he can't even move his eyes. For all Shawn's father knows, his son may be suffering. Shawn may want a release. And as long as he is unable to communicate his true feelings to his father, Shawn's life is in danger.

To the world, Shawn's senses seem dead. Within these pages, however, we meet a side of him that no one else has seen—a spirit that is rich beyond imagining, breathing life.

I can't wait to hear it again

I listened to this book in 1 day, and I could almost listen to it again, if I wasn't already holding back tears.

Short but powerful

A very short but moving and eye opening sad story. Really powerful and worth the time.

lame ending

I enjoyed the fact that the protagonist came from a loving family and he was portrayed as being very intelligent. I was disappointed with the ending.
