Craig finds himself in the adult psychiatric ward at the hospital only two blocks from his house. How did he get there? Well, he achieved his dream of getting into Pre-Professional High School and suffered because he felt like he couldn't perform the way he wanted.
Already suffering from depression the pressure from school and his social awkwardness pushes him to call the suicide hotline.Smart kid! I can't say I ever did that but I believe he is braver than he gives himself credit for.
In this ward he meets some very interesting and loveable people. Well I loved them because they were so unique I just couldn't resist. The guy who is afraid of gravity is one of my favorites. His roommate is Egyptian and has lost all interest in life. Craig by law doesn't belong in the adult ward but the rooms for teenagers is being remodeled.
Here he discovers what is socially accepted and what isn't. It is a hilarious adventure. Sad to say the author committed suicide after writing a few great books like this. His influence is still felt today even though he isn't here physically.
