Something’s Wrong with Micah

By: Jamison Hill

Narrated by: Slade Hovick

In the wake of a devastating car accident, sixteen-year-old Micah Hunter’s world begins to unravel. A mysterious illness leaves him unable to pursue the football dreams that he once shared with his father. At the peak of his illness, Micah bumps his wheelchair into Evie Thompson, a headstrong fifteen-year-old living with her own challenges. Coming of age and coming to terms with their disabilities, Micah and Evie find solace and companionship in each other.

As their connection deepens, Evie helps Micah discover the truth about his illness, allowing him to reconnect with his past. But, in doing so, Micah fails to discover Evie’s deteriorating health, which she keeps hidden. When Micah finally realizes the gravity of her situation, he must make the most difficult decision of his life: get Evie the help she needs or respect her wishes and risk losing her forever.

Awareness of medical conditions and the effects they have on those who have them

I enjoyed the main character, Micah and his relationships with the sub characters-his girlfriend, mother, football players and classmates. I liked the storyline development and its arc. It made me think about people with ‘disabilities’- how they are seen by others and the difficulties they have with pain and mobility. (I welled up at the end.)
