This is a wonderful book. Cameron attends the Emotionally Disturbed Program (EDP) at his middle school. He suffers from schizophreniform disorder. It is a less chronic form of schizophrenia that can sometimes have periods where patients are symptom free. Cameron, however, must take his meds to be symptom free and when he does that he feel blank. His meds make him feel foggy with no feelings or emotions about anything and he hates it. He decides to try making some decisions on his own by NOT taking his meds and that's when the voices come back. He has always had the "professor" telling him things but now he has some new voices one of which is a girl...a girl he is falling for. There is also Nina, a new (real) girl in the EDP program who suffers from depression who wants to be a part of Cameron's life. So, it is a kind of a love triangle, but one of the people just happens to be a hallucination. Just a fabulous read!
