Cruise Control

Terry Trueman. Harper Teen, $15.99 (160pp) ISBN 978-0-06-623960-6

In Cruise Control by Terry Trueman, narrator Paul, brother to Shawn, the subject of Stuck in Neutral, takes center stage. His direct rapport with readers (""My only brother is a veg. Yep, a full-fledged, drooling, fourteen-year-old idiot"") lends an immediacy to Paul's struggle with having a brother who suffers from cerebral palsy and the father who abandoned them. .
