Stuck in Neutral....by Terry Trueman
A touching story with a breath of irony and humour.....
Shawn is 15, has a family and a loving brother and sister. He goes to school like a normal teen.
But Shawn has celebral palsy. At birth, a tiny capillary burst in his brain at exactly the wrong place.This means that he can't move his body at his will. To the word outside, he seems braindead. He has epilepsy at times, which involvs in involuntary fits. Some think his life is miserable. In fact, his father plans "to end his suffering" by killing him......
This story tells us about Shawn, the real boy trapped inside a dummy, unable to talk, which no one will ever know. He tells us about how life is like, his talents and experiences . He is a genius, learning to read by looking at TVs or picking up language with his sister, and remembering every single experience in his life.
If Shawn's father kills him, he will never know the "real" him.....
The book has a meaningful message. Children which are suffering from similar diseases like Shawn's should be properly understood. One would never know whether "ending their suffering" is the best thing to do. In Shawn's case, he is determined to live on.
The author, Terry Trueman, has a child like Shawn. He inspired him to write such a meaningful, touching book.
