Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key

Summary: This book was about Joey Pigza who is wired. He is a boy who has trouble paying attention and controlling his mood swings especially after his medication wears off. He suffers from severe attention deficit disorder therefore he takes what he calls the Ritalin pill which is supposed to even out his wild mood swings. His condition was not helped by the fact that he was abandoned by his parents and was left to …

…like him shouldn’t be allowed to go to the same school as normal kids. He didn’t know how Joey could take that but yet he chased Joey away and he never got to say that he was sorry. Teaching parents and other student about conditions such as Joey’s so they wouldn’t have a heart to make such nasty remarks about children like him would be definitely implemented in my school district.
