Joey Pigza Loses Control

196 pp. | Farrar | September, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-374-39989-1 $$16.00
(1) 4-6 Joey Pigza is on a more even keel, thanks to "good meds" for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. Spending the summer with his father, a bigger version of his "wired" self, Joey finds himself ill-prepared to cope with his self-destructive and alcoholic parent. As in Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key, the story's tension and sadness are tempered by Joey's often humorous, sometimes hilarious, narrative.
