Children's Book review

Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key

By Jack Gantos

Published by Corgi Yearling

Joey has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and it is decided that he needs more help than his own school can offer. This is a sensitive portrayal of a young ADHD sufferer, but is also a thoroughly entertaining insight into the life of the immensely likeable Joey Pigza, whose escapades are certain to amuse any reader. A truly wonderful book.
