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.

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.

I'm amazed at the other reviews! This is the first book I have read by this author - and it doesn't inspire me to dip into other works. Ridiculous story line, full of unbelievable events with unconvincing "hero". 342 pages of silly drivel. A waste of time and money

I've read several other Judith Kelman books. They aren't the best written books I've read, but I enjoyed the stories. This one, however, is BAD!!! The story line is stupid beyond belief. I finished reading it because I kept thinking that it had to get better, but it never did. It will be some time before I have the nerve to take a chance on another Kelman book.
