The best ever book is called Joey Pigza Swallowed The Key. It was written amazingly by Jack Gantos. It is about a kid who can’t even stand still. His name is Joey Pigza. He is in a special school because he is so crazy. I don’t know anyone like him, he’s too crazy This book takes place in Philadelphia where he grew up. Joey has only one friend. His name is Charlie. Charlie has really tiny arms so he has to go the special school too.

Joey calls himself “wired”. He will jump around in circles and do many crazy things like banging on lockers and screaming at school. Joey is also very annoying to everyone. His teacher will ask him something and he will say “Can I get back to you on that?” and start laughing so hard. But he is also very smart. He loves doing math drills because he does them in two seconds when they normally take 5 minutes. One funny part was when Joey’s grandma got so annoyed by him that she ran into the sewers and ran until she got to Pittsburgh. I don’t know how, but she was crazy too! The special Ed teacher at school made Joey wear bunny slippers to help him sit still. However this did not work. It made the situation worse.

I loved this book because its a quick read. It took me only the break to read it. Another awesome thing about this book is that it has some interesting characters to listen to and talk about. I bet you if you read this you will be talking about it. I definitely recommend this book to people that like comedy because there were a lot of funny parts. Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key is not really related to any book that I heard of but I can’t wait to read Joey Pigza Loses Control which is the next book in the series. I rate this book
