Its Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini

 

an NYC teenager named Craig finally gets into the Executive Pre-Professional High School. He eventually can't take the pressure and almost kills himself, which gets him landed in a mental hospital. There, through his crazy neighbors and mapmaking, he finds his unexpected happiness.

 

This book mentions a kid named Mika, actually. It says about him: "His dad was a higher-up in the Taxi and Limousine Commission and he had some sort of badge that allowed him to get free cab rides anywhere, anytime." The kid Mika was only in one chapter and I don't think he even said anything, but I thought it was funny that his name was in there and spelled the same way.
