(3) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Wayne Kovok survives a plane crash following the funeral of his beloved soldier uncle killed overseas. Before the accident damaged Wayne's vocal cords, he was a talking encyclopedia, spewing knowledge to impress others; now Wayne must find a new "voice" to deal with his off-center family, middle-school woes, and his own insecurities. A satisfying coming-of-age story carried by Wayne's humorous first-person narrative.
