Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key

154 pp. | Farrar | October, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-374-33664-4 $$16.00
(1) 4-6 In this rollercoaster of a ride, ingenuously and breathlessly narrated by young Joey Pigza, readers are treated to an up-close and personal introduction to life with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder--or being "wired," as Joey puts it. His forthright, kidlike commentary has an unaffected charm in this compelling tragicomedy.
Reviewer: Jennifer M. Brabander | Horn Book Magazine Issue: November, 1998
