I like the book i read because it made me think about some mentally chalenged kids and how they might be even smarter then me but they cant express it. I would deffinatly rate it ***** because it was one of my favorite books. I liked how one of the problems in the story was the story (meaning Shawn, the boy in the story, couldnt tell anyone about him remebmering everything he sees, and even that he doesnt have the IQ of 3-4 months like his teachers and parents think). Another problem is he thinks his dad wants to kill him. His dad is a person who thinks that if a child is in pain, they should be killed to end their miserable life. The problem is, Shawn doesn't have a miserable life like his dad thinks. He cant tell him that though. Shawns father thinks that when he has his seasures, he is hurting , but really, Shawn would give anything to keep his seasures. In them is his only time he can leave his whealchair and really do what he wants (run, jump, fly ect.). The book ends with Shawn trusting his dad to know whats best for him. Shawn is laying in his bed and his dad walks in. Shawn can't see what is going to happen (if his dad is going to kill him or not) because he goes into another one of his seasures. This book is by Terry Trueman and has 114 pages.
