Johanna Kelly's Book Review

Stuck In Neutral

By Terry Trueman


**** stars

What would you do if you couldn’t communicate in any way, if you couldn’t eat or move voluntarily? What would you do if you were thought to have the brain function of a three month old? And what would you do if all of this happened and you were a genius inside, but no one could know? Would you rather die than live a life like this?


Most people would say to “put them out of their misery.” Is it really misery, or a different way to live life? This is what happens in the case of fourteen year-old Shawn. He can remember everything, he is incredibly smart, but he supposedly has the I.Q. of a three month old. Shawn is afraid of his father killing him, to put him “out of his misery.”

What will happen to Shawn? Read Stuck In Neutral to find out!
