The Adventures of the Runaway Wheelchair Philip Langellotti

Although handicapped, young Mikey is optimistic and never sees his condition as an obstacle in life. He always looks on the bright side and is always curious, so when he starts learning about global warming in school, he's fascinated. He had no idea the environment was so fragile, so he decides to use his smarts and his imagination to find a way to help.



Mikey and his friends investigate real science, beginning with the atmosphere, and soon learn how humans can negatively impact the Earth. Instead of harming Earth, Mikey thinks we should live in harmony by being mindful of the choices we make and living symbiotically with the environment while brainstorming new ways of thinking about conservation.



The intention of Adventures of the Runaway Wheelchair is to spread scientific awareness in an entertaining way. For many young students, learning science is tedious and boring. Using a mix of whimsy, comedy, and fantasy adds an entertaining balance between fact and fiction. We all must learn the importance of our world and that it could be in grave danger unless we change present behaviors to alter the future.
