Book excerpt: Sequel to Joey Pigza Loses Control, a Newbery Honor Book Are they flirting or fighting? This is Joey Pigza's question when the fireworks suddenly start to explode between his long-separated mom and dad, whom he's never really had a chance to see together. The more out of control his parents get, the less in control Joey feels and the more he wants to help make things better. But Joey's ailing tell-it-like-it-is grandmother wants her grandson to see it like it is with his unpredictable parents. Knowing that she is fading fast, she needs Joey to hurry up and show that he can break the Pigza family mold by making a friend in the outside world. The only potential candidate, however, is Olivia Lapp -- Joey's blind homeschooling partner, who brags that she is "blind as a brat" and acts meaner to Joey the more desperate he gets for her friendship -- even if Joey senses there's more to her than meets the eye. In this dazzling episode, Jack Gantos's acclaimed hyperactive hero discovers that settling down isn't good for anything if he can't find a way to stop the people he cares about from winding him up all over again. What Would Joey Do? is a 2003 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

Book Synopsis Just Joey by : Cindy Victor
Download or read book Just Joey written by Cindy Victor. This book was released on 2014-05-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gary Frank, a veterinarian, recalls his childhood: The death of his mother in a car crash, his father going to Japan for a year and sending him to live with relatives he scarcely knows, and having to leave behind his German shepherd dog, Joey, and Chappie, the young handywoman next door, who is mute and whom he idolizes. Set in Long Beach, California; Keystone, South Dakota; and Minot, North Dakota, the story begins with Gary being terrified of dogs and his parents giving him a puppy on his sixth birthday. The dog, it turns out, has epilepsy. He also has healing powers, or so Gary believes. Chappie, who communicates via a note pad she wears on a chain around her neck, goes along with this to spare Gary the pain of disbelief. Later, when living with his relatives, he is devastated to learn that his father, Lawrence, was driving recklessly the night of the car crash, and that his mother had airs and made his dad change his name from Larry to Lawrence, and thought he could do better than be a teacher. Gary also learns from Grandma Louise, his aunt's mother, that God came to a tea party in her playhouse and told her she could choose one person to live forever. But once she made her choice and said it out loud, it couldn't be changed.
