I read this book 8-9 years ago. I've re-read it many times, it is still among my favorites.

What kid doesn't dream of "running away to find their real parents" on occasion, in this book Peter has a cute little brother, a wicked step-father, and a mother fallows the SFs wishes, even when that means medicating her normal son and eventually putting him in a mental ward. Peter meets an interesting set of kids while there. With the help of his little brothers psychic powers and an orderly, Peter learns of a lie his mother has to told him nearly his entire life. Peter makes a quick decision, escapes from the institution, and travels to Washington to find answers to questions he has only began to think of all thanks to his trip to the looney bin.

I lost my copy of the book a few years back, but it is well worth a re-buy.

This book was very suspensful.Peter is a teenager with ADD who's stepfather doesn't like him. Buck,his stepfather, thinks that he hates his half brother whom Peter really loves. I reccomend this book to any teenager who wants a good book that they can relate to. Peter is trapped like many teenagers. Though most teenagers are metaphorically trapped the author gives his readers a good real life, though somewhat more drastic then most of us will face, look at the every day life of a struggling teen waiting to discover who he really is. Peter, in the end, finds out who he is and who his friends and family really are with the help of a disillousioned poet, a girl with an eating disorder, and a overly friendly gaurd who is trying to right his wrongs. I am sure that if you pick up this book that the suspense will keep it in your hands until you've found every juicy detail(just like in the tabloids).

This was an awesome book! I loved it from beginning until end! Some parts were enough to make me cry and others made me laugh out loud. I recommend this if you're a teenager in need of a good read! =0)

The book, "Framed in Fire" was a great book. Peter, a teenage boy with ADD, is trapped in a mental hospital, but he wants to escape. The book is about his adventures trying to escape from the hospital. While he is at the hospital, he meets people with problems like his, and problems much different than his. I enjoyed this book because it was well written, and the author wove everything together well. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who would like to read it. I would mostly recommend it to kids who actually have ADD. Enjoy reading!
