Has It Really Been Four Days?

OMHP it's really been four frickin' whole days since I've finished a book. Man, I've been slow.
Anyway, this one was Joey Pigza Loses Control by Jack Gantos. I've also read Joey Pigza Swallowed The Key, which is another good book.
Joey Pigza is an ADHD kid who isn't so hyper and spazzy anymore, thanks to his medicine patch. He is going to visit his dad for a couple weeks, and his mom says his dad is just like Joey, only bigger, so Joey expects his dad to be hyper too. But Joey's dad is WAY past hyper: he drinks, smokes, can never stop talking, gets really mad at Joey when Joey screws up, etc. And then, he takes Joey's patches away, saying Joey's all better and he doesn't need them. That's when Joey LOSES CONTROL. He spazzes out majorly!
This was a good book, though, and it's in first person so you can really see what life is like through the eyes of an extremely hyper kid. Readers will also love all the weird adventures Joey gets into, from pitching at a baseball game with his dog down his jersey, or dressing up like a mannequin in a mall and scaring people.
