An intriguing look into the life of a boy caught in the prison of his own body. Unable to communicate in any way, he slowly becomes aware of his surroundings and circumstances but cannot relay this through a voice or even the simplest physical responses. The journey he takes to finally gain recognition and be "seen" is eye opening (forgive the pun). The book reminds us of the humanity of all persons regardless of their perceived handicaps or deficits.

The author's determination and perseverance throughout his experience make this a book "you can't put down".
