Publisher's Summary
Peter Pan meets Groundhog Day when 11-year-old Jackson makes a birthday wish about never growing up that mysteriously comes true.
On his 11th birthday, Jackson is nervous about moving up to middle school where he knows he'll be bullied by older kids, so he makes his wish, "I don't want to grow up!" When his 12th birthday rolls around, he discovers his wish came true: he's still 11, and he’s starting fifth grade (again). At first, this is the perfect life. Jackson is the smartest kid in his class, the best on his baseball team, and the star of the school band. But after a few years of being 11, he realizes his life is passing him by. His little sister is suddenly his big sister, his former friends are driving, everyone else is growing older but he's still living the same fifth grade life. Will Jackson ever figure out how to grow up or will he remain Stuck?

The tide is turning against the colonists in the Revolutionary War, and 18-year-old Elizabeth Morris cannot sit by idly. Quietly disdainful of her Tory parents, who drag her along to society events and welcome a British soldier into their home during their occupation of New York City, Elizabeth decides to take matters into her own hands. She realizes that, as a young woman, no one around her believes that she can comprehend the profound implications of being a nation at war - she is, effectively, invisible. And she can use this invisibility to her advantage.

For example, integration of major league and professional sports broke a major color barrier for one of the first times in the early years of the Civil Rights Movement. African American athletes competed in America long before the 20th century - in fact, they even competed during the years of slavery.

Is bourbon the quintessential American liquor? Bourbon is not just alcohol - the amber-colored drink is deeply ingrained in American culture and tangled in American history. From the early days of raw corn liquor to the myriad distilleries that have proliferated around the country today, bourbon is a symbol of the United States. This course traces bourbon's entire history, from the 1700s, with Irish, Scottish, and French settlers setting up stills and making distilled spirits in the New World, through today's booming resurgence.

Accent problem
It was a good book, but some references like “what a stupid name, prisha,” and the imitation of Indian accents bothered me. My parents migrated to America from India therefore I am Indian American. These just really bothered me but otherwise it’s a good book!

A great listen for the whole family
Stuck is an absolute delight. Following Jackson as he hangs back year after year trying to avoid bullying and the stress of moving on to a new school will keep anyone entertained and interested. The characters are all engaging and entertaining.
This story and performance is really good for all audiences. If you are getting ready for a road trip with the kids or grand kids, Stuck is an excellent choice.

Great kids book. It’s the stuffed potato!
This month’s Audible freebies are really knocking it out of the park for zippy, fun listens that also painlessly sneak in life lessons and deeper meaning. The narration is excellent here, fitting the tone of an 11 year old Jackson who finds himself reliving the year, and the 5th grade, over and over again, while the rest of the world moves on. Time travel plots often give me a headache, but this one went down easy. The only cultural/religious aspect to this book is the Hindu concept of nonlinear time. This book is free of politics, sex, and profanity and contains mild treatment of bullying, aging, and death. I find it perfect for kids 10 and up.
My favorite part is the changing slang as time moves forward. I’m going to start working “it’s the stuffed potato” into my catch phrases, because “it’s the bees knees” really makes no sense.
