Congrats, ND!
Rebecca most of my kids' favorites probably skew too young to appeal to mac, but they like The Unwanteds series. That one seems to have a bigger age range in its appeal. And Isaac read and loved the old Robin Hood.
What about Atul Gawande's Better? That's written for adults but I don't think the language or concepts would be a barrier, and his basic message is medicine is not perfect, it may not even be perfectible, but when practiced with diligence, it gets better and better.
Ta-Nehisi Coates' Between the World and I is written to his 15 year old son.

My brain hurts. And so does most of my body. Uhg.
Incidentally, my Fitbit counted 3757 steps while the Zombies, Run app on my phone came up with 4761. Hm.
Have you calibrated your Fitbit? (I haven't calibrated mine, but I know it's an option.)
Teacher and librarian types - book suggestions for a 15yo boy who reads below grade level and does not like to read.
Maybe try Chris Crutcher's books?
Congratulations, ND! That's an awesome thing.
Hang in there, Sean!
