Paul McDaniel has everything going for him: looks, smarts, and athletic ability. His brother, on the other hand, has nothing, not even a working brain. How can Paul pursue his own happiness when his brother will never know anything but meaningless pain? n nHow sick is this: Im the major jock-stud in high school, but my brother has the brain of a badminton birdie and a body to match. Ive got everything and hes got nothing. Im a three-year, three-sport letterman and Shawn cant even stand up! Like I said, sick, huh? n nIts hard to be a brother to someone who doesnt even know youre there. How can you talk to him when he cant understand a thing you say? How can you listen to him when he cant speak a word? How can you love him when hes so messed up, he cant love you back? And how can you have a life of your own when your father bailed on the family, leaving you to be the man of the house? n nFueled by rage at what has happened to his family, Paul is ready to explode. And he is haunted by something even worse--something he can never tell anyone. It is something he will have to face if he is to have any hope of a future at all. While Cruise Control is a companion to Terry Truemans Printz Honor book, Stuck in Neutral, it is the completely independent story of a familys other son--the one who is healthy, gifted, normal. It is a courageously hopeful story told with power, compassion, and humor. n
