(2) YA Shawn (Stuck in Neutral), born with cerebral palsy that prevents voluntary movements, has lived his fifteen years unable to communicate. The problem is he's able to think, learn, and love. Mom's cousin Debi, who has Down syndrome, is able to sense the real Shawn. Shawn lives a rich interior life, and Trueman's characterization of his protagonist is vivid and multidimensional.
