'An extraordinary journey into the landscape of someone else's mind ! a seriously good book that cuts to the heart of issues concerning the disability ! a real page-turner.' -- Lyn Gardner, Book of the Month in The Guardian 'a moving, thought-provoking novel, whose subject matter lingers in the mind.' -- Anne Marley, Principal Librarian, Children's and S 'An intensely moving autobiography of adolescent angst and supreme loneliness. It's an impressive book, harrowing to read, and very difficult to forget.' -- Marilyn Brocklehurst, Norfolk Children's Book Cent 'Extraordinary, prize-winning novel ! a page-turning thriller as well as a celebratory book about simple pleasures.' -- The Sunday Times, July 2001 ' Readers spend the whole book inside a place ... so vivid, so unique, they will be hard pressed to forget its mix of heaven and hell ... An intense reading experience.' -- Booklist Starred Review ' ... a fascinatingly horrifying premise. Is there anything more scary to us than being trapped inside a broken body that doesn't work ... ?' -- The Enterprise 'Stuck in Neutral is a marvellous book full of hope and humour and one I would actively encourage 12+ readers to pick up.' -- Samantha Eels Taylor, BfK July 2001 ' ... a truly unique journey into the mind of a truly unique character ... an original and moving debut.' -- Amazon.com '! this book will not easily be forgotten ! one which has much meaning and deserves to be read by many.' -- Kids Out 'Because it lends itself to the unknown and tells us things we normally would never even think about and because the narrator's down-to-earth, open-hearted candour is so persuasive ... Stuck In Neutral is a page-turner of a novel- exciting, approachable, inclusive.' -- Carousel Issue 19
