Great Book!

Ellen's Case by Lois Metzger is an amazing book that you simply can't put down! When i started reading this book, i didn't stop until i finished it. I felt like i was actually in ellen's life and i always wanted to know what will happen next. Ellen's younger brother Barry was born with cerebral palsy, a brain disorder, and her family is placing charges against the doctor who delivered Barry. The story mostly takes place in the courtroom. I learned a lot about physically handicapped children, cerebral palsy, the relationship between brothers and sisters, and about law. This is a terrific story that i would recommend to ages 10 and above.

A really great book

This is one of those books that you can't put down. You read it in the bathtub, at work, at school. You get so involved in Ellen's life and the outcome of Barry's future. You want to choke the doctor that did to him. It's one of the books that you read over and over again and you are still at the edge of your seat waiting for the verdict. I can't wait to read it again!
