Love this book!

Would you listen to Joey Pigza Loses Control again? Why?

I use this in my 4th grade reading group. My students love to mix things up and listen to the author read instead of me. It really keeps their attention. I love seeing them get 'sucked in' to the book!

Magnificent!

This is a must-listen for any child suffering from mood disorders and those who care for them. It makes the idea of taking medicine for ADHD and other mood disorders less frightening and acceptable. Gantos weaves together an unforgettable story that will stay with me for a very long time. Highly recommended.

Jack Gantos is a FANTASTIC author.

Highly recommend the Joey Pigza series. Very amusing & entertaining. Well read by the author. Was sad when each book ended, but then I realized there was another & another. Will be really sad when I finish all of the Joey Pigza books. But Jack Gantos has many other books for all different ages that I've started listening to as well. He's a fantastic author.

Left me wanting more

Funny and yet it tugs on your heart and sympathies. There can be love and successes amongst dysfunction. The narration was great. I've ordered more in this series. I think children and many adults will love this.

I love this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
