PULL UP A CHAIR AND READ A WHILE

James Merritt, the protagonist of this story is a very bright, appealling child. At 5, he is well versed in musical terminology as his father was a musician. James' parents are divorced and James copes with that issue alongside of starting school "as a big kid." He has his share of obstacles, one of them in the form a very strange peer called "Odd Todd" by other kids. "Odd Todd" comes from a weird household and one quickly learns where the boy's eccentricities originated.James is struck by a reckless driver. However, this was no accident and as James fights for his life in the hospital, the shady issues surrounding his near miss are brought to light.This was truly a good book. I certainly hope James makes another appearance in a Judith Kelman book.

VERY GOOD STORY

I REALLY ENJOYED THIS ONE, AND I WOULD GIVE IT A 10, BUT IT HAS A CERTAIN RESEMBLANCE TO MARY HIGGINS CLARK'S BOOK, A STRANGER IS WATCHING. THEY ARE BOTH WELL WORTH READING ON THEIR OWN MERITS AND I RECOMMEND YOU TRY BOTH TITLES.
