They say I'm wired bad, or wired sad, but there's no doubt about
it--I'm wired.
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 himself all the way downown, into the district special-ed
program, which could be the end of the line. As Joey knows, if he
keeps making bad choices, he could just fall between the cracks for
good. But he is determined not to let that happen.
In this antic yet poignant new novel, Jack Gantos has perfect pitch
in capturing the humor, the off-the-wall intensity, and the serious
challenges that life presents to a kid dealing with hyper-activity
and related disorders. Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key is a 1998
National Book Award Finalist for Young People's Literature.
