Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key

Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key by Jack Gantos

Joey Pigza has ADHD and his condition causes him a lot of trouble at home and at school.  With the help of his mom and some caring teachers, Joey tries to get control of his life.  But, is he too late?

This is a remarkable book written from the perspective of a boy who is powerless over his impulses.  Very disturbing at times, this book is also full of hope.  Appropriate for all tweens.
