 We have been waiting to see what Jack Gantos will do for a positive outcome to a trilogy about a hyperactive boy, Joey. The best is left for last. The antics remain comical. Grandma reappears long enough to put the 'normal, standard' in Joey's life somewhere outside a bell-shaped curve. 'Grandma had taken a job earning money at home by folding junk mail advertisements and stuffing them into envelopes. She had a lot of paper cuts which only made her meaner.'
The antics and outrageous conversation of What Would Joey Do? makes it a great read-aloud book in a late primary or early secondary classroom. The kids who have lived the life of a Joey will know there is hope for better days. The kids who are not hyperactive due to smoke, secondary smoke or a home environment that makes kids 'fidget' might expand their awareness of kids who do and are.
