BOOK: Joey Pigza loses control by Gantos

[Frederick Muller <fmuller@TELLURIAN.NET>]

Gantos, Jack._Joey Pigza loses control_Farrar Straus & Giroux,
2000 [0-374-39989-1]
In this second Joey Pigza book, he goes to spend time with his
father (who we don't see in the first book.)  As you may know these
tales are told by Joey, a ADDH kid -- great reading about him trying
to control himself though his own mind.  Here we have a alcoholic
father who is also trying to stop smoking and coaches a baseball
time.  Joey has been doing pretty well since he has his medication
patch.  Well his father convinces Joey that he can control himself
without the patch.  And as a result, Joey loses control.  What is
really interesting, we hear it all from Joey as he experiences it.
This 196 page book is almost as good as the first -- well worth
purchasing.
