Welcome to Litsy!

Powerful read! Enjoyed it.

I just finished this super-short (just over 100 pages) novel with an intriguing premise. Shawn has cerebral palsy and has never been able to communicate with his family, though he has a lively inner life. Early in the novel, he becomes convinced that his dad is determined to commit euthanasia to save Shawn from his pain. While parts of this novel are pretty dated, there‘s lots of discussion fodder here.

As a parent of three severely autistic children and has also had to take an infant child off life support this book really touched me! At first I was angry. How could anyone even consider harming their child. While I can‘t say I agree with the father in his book I can certainly understand not wanting your child to suffer and being willing to do anything because you love them so!

Up and at em‘ and starting with this book. Recommended by my ex husband of all people! #24in48

This RF novel is a book that is closely related to the book "Out of my mind". It is about a boy named Shawn and he has cerebral palsy. He can not communicate and has sereval intense seizures a day. His father thinks he is suffering. But Shawn likes his life. This book will have you on the edge of you seat till the end! http://www.bookrags.com/lessonplan/stuck-in-neutral/funactivities.htmlhickleberr...

So I read a lot of Middle School books to keep up with my voracious readers. The cool moment when you're reading another book at the exact same time and it's mentioned in the reading. First time ever! Disturbing and sad ending with "Stuck in Neutral."The other book is meh "One of those hideous books where the mother dies"
