📖Recommend for Grades 9 and up📖
by Mindy McGinnis
One minute Mickey and her best
friend are driving home with a pizza, the next they are in an accident and
Mickey’s leg has broken in two. The accident means Mickey is sidelined from her
senior season of softball unless she can heal before conditioning starts.
Mickey’s doctor prescribes her Oxy to help with the pain after her injury, but
when the pills run out, she takes obtaining the pills into her own hands. This
leads Mickey on a road of self-destruction.
The subject matter of this book
makes it one to read with caution. It opens sometime into Mickey’s addiction
with a horrific scene involving death. It then backtracks to right before the
accident. Mickey’s story shows just how easy it can be to slip into addiction,
even if one is in denial of it.
