Description
Just when Joey Pigza's wired world finally seems to be under control, his good-for-nothing dad pops back into his life. This time, though, Carter Pigza is a new man – literally. After a lucky lotto win, Carter Pigza has a crazy new outlook on life, and he's even changed his name to Charles Heinz. He thinks Joey and his mom should become new people, too. Soon Joey finds himself bombarded with changes: a new name, a new home, and a new family business – running the beat-up Beehive Diner. He knows he should forgive his dad as his mom wants him to, and get with the new family program. But in I Am Not Joey Pigza, Joey is afraid that in changing names and going with the flow he will lose sight of who he really is. In Jack Gantos' rocket-paced new chapter in Joey Pigza's life, a favorite hero discovers what identity and forgiveness really mean, and how to cook a delicious turkey burger. This title has Common Core connections.

Extremely pleased
I am very pleased with this purchase. Not very many books address the subject of ADHD from the child's point of view, and this book does so very well and tastefully, and in language that a 11 year old and adults can easily understand. I gave it to my 12 year old granddaughter who has ADHD and she loved it. It did her a world of good to know that there are other children out there in her same predicament. I would recommend it to any child or adult who is dealing with children with ADHD. I liked it so well, I purchased the entire series!

What could have been sad stories are handled with Joey and his little dog, there is a little Joey in some way in all of us.
Have read every book by Jack Gantos to my granddaughter, what surprised me the most is how much we both laughed and fell in love with Joey and his crazy hot mess of a family.

Another Joey Pigza classic read
This is an inspiring, funny and at times very moving story of a child with enormous learning difficulties and the sometimes hillarious situations he finds himself in. EVERY child should read this and the other books in the Joey Pigza series.
