Stuck in Neutral by Terry Trueman
Stuck In Neutral, by Terry Trueman, reviewed by Rhonda Farrell-Butler, Coordinator
Children’s and Teen Services
(Harper Collins, 2000, $6.95,128 pages.
Set in Seattle, Washington, this story is written in first person from the point of view of fourteen year old Shawn McDaniel. Even though he has had cerebral palsy since birth, Shawn loves his life, and wishes that his family knew how intelligent he really is. As a matter of fact, Shawn is a “secret genius”, besides being humorous, he has the ability to remember everything he hears, sees, and reads. I invite all teens to read this story of the many challenges faced by Shawn, as we prepare for the Teen Read Week Celebration with a visit by the author of this moving story, Terry Trueman on October 10,
