Terry Trueman. Stuck in Neutral. New York, NY : Harper Collins, 2000. ISBN 0-06-028519-2.
Shawn is a fourteen year old boy whose Cerebral Palsy has left him unable to talk, move, or communicate with anyone. The only time Shawn is able to experience anything physical is when he has his daily grand mal seizures, during which he often has the out of body experience of floating up above himself. As far as anyone knows, Shawn can’t even think- but they are wrong. Shawn is actually really quite bright, a self taught reader, deeply inquisitive and with the ability to remember every thing he has ever heard- if only he could tell his family that. Now he has the feeling his dad, a well known author, is trying to kill him- but he has no way of telling anyone his suspicions.
