Hilarious submitted by derin on August 16, 2011, 5:30pm This is a fun book

Wonderful! submitted by Dexsunfire79 on September 6, 2019, 9:21am This three book series is amazing! It was fantastic for teaching my child about ADHD and other disabilities. As a parent I cried for Joey! It was so hard to listen to his problems and his nutty parents. I just wanted to scoop him up in a hug him! He is the perfect example of perseverance in any situation. There are one or two swear words and a lot of talk about cigarettes in the last book especially. The grandmother is a good example of how awful smoking cigarettes can be. I would suggest for an audience over 9 years old.
