A story about a boy, David, who's family moved from Indianapolis to Kansas City after a tragic event and his dad was laid off.  It is summer vacation and he has to stay at home because both his parents need to work to make ends meet.  At first he has trouble making friends and no kids live on his street until Shelton moves in next door.Shelton is a strange child and is mistaken to be mentally handicapped at first.  Shelton`s mom shelters him and he seems to be able to communicate with the natural world.  David doesn't really like Shelton at first but he grows to almost like him.  David is like most kids who like to play sports and play in the woods but Shelton is more interested in the living things around them.David starts to notice that Shelton`s house is being watched and is forced into a decision on whether to try and help Shelton or not...The characters in the book seem like they could be real Americans with real life problems.  The story is a little slow at times but is developed right and is good start to the series because more questions seem to be left unanswered than are answered in the end.  I do think I will read the next book in the series.The boy
