Connor's best friend Branwell has been accused of hurting his baby half- sister, Nikki. Connor is sure Branwell couldn't have done it, at least on purpose. Now Branwell is in a juvenile behavior center, little Nikki is in a coma, and Connor is determined to prove his friend is innocent. The only problem is that Branwell won't speak so it's hard to prove anything at all.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes mysteries, because this book keeps you guessing until the last page.

Branwell drops his sister and she slips into a coma.  From that day on Branwell has not spoken.  He has been sent to the Clarion County Behavioral Center.  Branwell's dad tries everything he can think of to get Branwell to talk, but he won't.   So he asks Branwell's good friend, Conner, to try. 

You might be asking many questions by now ... why did Branwell drop Nikki, his sister?    Why is Branwell not talking?   Will Branwell ever talk again?  Will Nikki be all right?  For all these answers you will have to read the book.  I really like this book.  You cannot put it down.  I would sit down to read one chapter,  but I would end up reading four or five.  This is one of my favorite books.
