Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key
Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key was one of the most amazing books I've ever read. Jack Gantos made the book seem sad yet in a way that made the book 1,000,000,000,000,000 times mkre interesting! When I first started reading this book, I thought it would be boring book about a kid swallowing a key and other stories, I soon found out that it was a sad yet SO interesting book. Good job Jack Gantos.
