A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"It is a tremendous achievement to incorporate so much understanding and explanation into a cracking good story. I found it a vivid and startling book" (The School Librarian)

"One of the funniest recent publications . . . Written with the energetic, breathless, non-stop gusto of the main character" (Financial Times)

"Its wit, verve and strong story make it a fascinating read" (TES)

"[This] could easily become required reading for anyone who works or lives with children and for any child who enjoys brilliant comic writing tinged with the poignancy of reality" (The Bookseller)

"The reader will quickly be engaged by the gritty honesty of this character who has a great deal of moral courage . . . Joey Pigza stays with you long after the last page has turned" (Carousel)

Présentation de l'éditeur

Joey Pigza can't sit still. He can't pay attention, he can't follow the rules, and he can't help it -- especially when his meds aren't working. Joey's had problems ever since he was born, problems just like his dad and grandma have. And whether he's wreaking havoc on a class trip or swallowing his house key, Joey's problems are getting worse. In fact, his behavior is so off the wall that his teachers are threatening to send him to the special-ed center downtown.

Joey knows he's really a good kid, but no matter how hard he tries to do the right thing, something always seems to go wrong. Will he ever get anything right?
