Book
Fly / Alison Hughes.
Felix Landon Yarrow (Fly) is a 14-year-old boy with cerebral palsy who has a rich inner life and a witty, sometimes sarcastic, inner voice. Obsessed with the noble, chivalrous ideals of knighthood, he sets out into the wilderness (high school) on his steed (a mechanized wheelchair) to protect and save his lady love, Daria, from the nefarious villain (Carter, a pill-dealing cool kid). With the help of a trusty, loyal sidekick (his aide, Levi) and a computer, Fly constructs an elaborate trap, setting in motion events he thinks he can control -- but as they say, even the best laid plans can go awry.
