Freaky Fast Frankie Joe

(3) 4-6 After his flighty mother goes to jail, Frankie Joe moves from Texas to Illinois to live with his well-organized father (whom he doesn't remember) and four half brothers. Frankie Joe is an appealing, resilient character who, in spite of his resentment and anger, possesses an easygoing determination to not only survive but to do so with humor and dignity.
