what is the name of the book that's...?
what is the name of the book that is written about a boy living with cerebral palsy and it is written through his eyes? I remember my daughter reading it a few years ago and I just can't remember the name. It's mostly for teens.

"Stuck in Neutral" by Terry Trueman
http://www.amazon.com/Stuck-Neutral-Terry-Trueman/...
"Fourteen-year-old Shawn McDaniel loves the taste of smoked oysters and his mother's gentle hugs. Unfortunately, it's impossible for Shawn to feed himself or to hug his mom back. Shawn has cerebral palsy, a condition he has had since birth that has robbed him of all muscle control. He can't walk, talk, or even focus his eyes on his own. But despite all these handicaps, despite the frustration of not being able to communicate, Shawn is still happy to be alive: "Somehow all the things I think about and remember turn to joy... favorite movies... pinecones... chocolate pudding... the scent of Comet in a stainless steel sink.... Life can be great, even for me. Even for me." That is why he panics when he begins to suspect that his father is thinking of killing him. Shawn knows that his father is trying to be kind; he imagines that his son's life is an endless torment. His dad has no idea of the rich life that Shawn lives inside his head. And Shawn, helpless and mute, has no way of telling him."
[The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is about a man who had a stroke - he didn't have cerebal palsy]
