Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key

$7.99
Joey Pigza's got heart, he's got a mom who loves him, and he's got "dud meds," which is what he calls the Ritalin pills that are supposed to even out his wild mood swings. Sometimes Joey makes bad choices. He learns the hard way that he shouldn't stick his finger in the pencil sharpener, or swallow his house key, or run with scissors. Joey ends up bouncing around a lot - and eventually he bounces downtown, into the special-ed program. If he keeps making bad choices, he could just fall between the cracks for good. He’s determined not to let that happen.
