The author sent me this story in exchange for my review. I hope to do it justice without spoilers!This is the story of a high school boy who becomes mute.  As you might expect, kids are mean beyond reason and he is bullied for it.  His home life is not good - his parents are going through a separation, his father is out of the picture completely, his mother is dating and never home.  In a word, he is troubled.The writing is good, if a bit long.  I like the the way it flowed - in places he showed such writing skills as where the water went dripdripdrip.I like that.And then things spiral for the teen.  Things get worse and his depression grows.  The author takes a psychological look at where the boy goes from there with an interesting twist at the end.Other than needing just a tad bit of editing, it was an enjoyable read.  Parents would find it well worth their time to read this and gain a bit of insight into the life of troubled teenagers.
