1 post | 2 read | 1 to read

The fifth and final book in the groundbreaking Joey Pigza series brings the beloved chronicle of this wired, wacky, and wonderful boy to a crescendo of chaos and craziness, as everything goes topsy-turvy for Joey just as he starts to get his feet on the ground. With his dad MIA in the wake of appearance-altering plastic surgery, Joey must give up school to look after his new baby brother and fill in for his mom, who hospitalizes herself to deal with a bad case of postpartum blues. As his challenges mount, Joey discovers a key that could unlock the secrets to his father's whereabouts, a mystery that must be solved before Joey can even hope that his broken family might somehow come back together if only it doesn't pull him apart first.This title has Common Core connections."

Key That Swallowed Joey Pigza | Jack Gantos

This RF national finalist award winning (2009) novel “Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key” would be great for LC! This story is about a kid who has an attention disorder. He is smart, nice, and kind but he can get out of control at times. The theme of this book focuses on strength of will.

Thayes1787 This book would be great for students to study the character by taking notes to focus on qualities and facts that make up the main character - EL #9 & UDL principle 2.3 to support the information they find based on the main character. https://www.teachervision.com/add-adhd/joey-pigza-swallowed-key-discussion-guide This link is great to guide teachers on what types of discussions to have during the reading of this novel! #UCFLAE3414SuB18 6y
