Framed in Fire

Summary: School Library Journal had this to say...
Review: "Peter Larson's father died in an accident--at least that's the story his mother has always told him. The boy has an increasingly hostile relationship with his verbally abusive stepfather, Buck, and some scuffles at school, but is basically a good kid. While he deals with his ambivalent feelings toward his parents, his younger half-brother, Lincoln, reports having 'real dreams'--visions, actually, of events in their lives. The youngster's ability to 'see' a fire at a neighbor's house helps to avert a disaster, but in the commotion, Lincoln falls down the stairs and Buck accuses Peter of deliberately trying to harm the toddler. The next stop for Peter is the Resthaven Psychiatric Facility where the staff, except for the psychiatrist Buck insists on dealing with, take a supportive role in trying to get the family back in balance. It's lonely and confusing in the hospital, but Peter finds consolation in an old favorite storybook. One day, its familiar bookplate comes loose, and Peter finds evidence that his mother has lied to him about his father. He wonders what else she has lied about and if his father might still be alive. So begins Peter's quest to find out the truth. Patneaude's story has enough tension and suspense to keep the pages turning. The book tackles many serious issues, including parental kidnapping, ADD, blended families, and teenage depression. The characters are well rounded enough to remain believable. This story of a teen in search of his identity is a good addition for most collections."

Review: 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!
