stuck in neutral

Stuck In Neutral

 

by Terry Truman

I would rate this book 3 out of 5 stars because it really didn't appeal much to me

Setting: Stuck in neutral takes place in seattle Washington, It usually varies from shawns home to the hospital.

Main Character: The main character in this book is a fourteen year old boy named Shawn McDaniel,  Shawn was born with a rare condition known as cerebral palsy, this makes it so that shawn is not allowed to control any of the muscles in his body, but his brain is fully functional

Main Plot Events: This book shows the point of view of shawn, while his brain is fully functional none of the rest of him is, and since there is no way for him to communicate, everyone thinks that shawn is braindead, but he actually is able to completely retain all memories and things that he has heard. he is even convinced that his own father is going to kill him out of love for him.

Main Conflict: the main conflict of this book is how shawn lives his life with cerebral palsy and how he copes with not being able to communicate, he is faced with many challenges that he can only think about to overcome.

I would recommend this book for anyone who likes humor, this book is very humorous with all of the thoughts going through this kids head.
