The Sledding Hill by Chris Crutcher

The Sledding Hill Eddie Proffit's year has really sucked, plain and simple, and it doesn't seem to be looking any brighter. To begin with, Eddie's father died in a work accident. Then his best friend, Billy Bartholomew, kicked a stack of Sheetrock, which fell onto him, breaking his neck and crushing him. As if those deaths couldn't be any worse, Eddie is the person who discovered both of the bodies. His grief has manifested itself in his desire to remain silent.

What Eddie hasn't realized is that Billy hasn't left him completely. Will Billy be able to help Eddie find his voice before it is too late? And has Eddie's silence actually helped him use his other senses to discover the power of books?
