Review: I will not repeat everything else that has been said about this book. I will just share a true story about listening to Jack Gantos read this book on the audio cassette version. We were listening to the book in the car. After the chapter where Joey first sees his dad coach a Little League baseball team, my 11 year old daughter stopped the tape and wiping tears of laughter from her eyes, stabbed the rewind button and said, "I HAVE to hear that part again!"

Review: I have to do a book report for something that had to do with ADHD and Joey Pigza was the perfect book for me! I am 14 years old and having ADD and psychological problems myself I could really relate to this book! Joey is a 9 or 10 year old boy who gets very bored with his mom because she is always working. So, for the summer, Joey's mom sends him to his fathers house where Joey meets an older and bigger version of himself! Joey's father and grandmother love him very much and they both want him to spend alot of time with themselves. The first day Joey is with his dad they go to Storybook Land where grandma plays golf and Joey and Dad play in the park where his Fathers life changed forever. Joey's father finds out that Joey has a very good throwing arm he makes him the pitcher of his baseball team. His team is making it to the playoffs when Joey's Father flushes his medicine down the toilet. Joey knows that something bad is going to happen so during the first part of the baseball game joey runs off of the pitching mound and runs to the closest place where there is a payphone... This just happens to be where Joey's step-mom works and she finds him there calling his mom and.... Well you will have to read the book to find out if Joey's mom comes to pick him up or not!
