This book is one of the best books I have ever read. The book is great for girls who are going through a lot of things in their lives. They should read it and found out what happens to Caitlin and her friends who have problems by hanging out with the wrong crowd (along with boy troubles). Read the book to find out if Caitlin makes it out okay.--Book suggestion by Kelsey

Imagine that you are 15 years old.  You have an amazing family even though your parents are divorce.  Your father is a Pulitzer Prize winning author who won that Pulitzer Prize with a poem about you.  That poem, entitled “Shawn,” is about how your father feels about your condition.  In Trueman’s novel, Stuck in Neutral, Shawn is a teenager trapped inside his body.  He was born with cerebral palsy.  No one knows that he has any intelligence at all—he cannot communicate in any form because he has no motor skills to even blink his eyes on demand.  To make matters worse, Shawn’s condition is the reason that his parents divorces, and now his author father is writing positively about a man who killed his own two-year-old child with the same condition as Shawn.  Shawn suspects that his father wants to follow in Mr. Detraux’s footsteps and kill him, too.--book suggestion by Mrs. Babin
