Joey Pigza is wired just like his dad and his grandma. Unfortunately, thet "wiring" often makes him feel as if he's about to explode. His prescription meds never seem to last long enough to get him through lunch, and soon he's got himself neck-deep in a big mess. The problem is, he usually can't figure out how he's gotten there.
If only Joey could learn to make better decisions, then maybe his good intentions wouldn't end up hurting so many people. Is there hope for him with some new meds and Special Ed?
This story goes a long way toward understanding children with ADHD and explores one very loveable child's search for help.
