a Misdiagnosed Boy Trapped Inside His Own Body

Genre YA nonfiction
Pages: 286
Published: 2013
Read: January
4 out of 5
When I
started this book, I didn’t realize it was nonfiction. So that took me for a
surprise. As heartbreaking as the story is I appreciated it more knowing it was
all true. I can’t imagine what happened to Martin happening to one of my
children or myself. The most mystifying and terrifying aspect (to family, doctors,
and the readers) was Martin was not born with the degenerative disease. When he
was 12, Martin woke up feeling sick and continual worsened until he couldn’t
feed himself, talk or walk. This should
be read by anyone who enjoys nonfiction or enjoyed the fictional novels, Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper or Petey by Ben Michaelsen.
