The Dented Head of Joey Pigza by Jack Gantos
Gantos provides a warm, funny, empowering story for all ages. Gantos’ Joey Pigza will warm your heart and have you rooting for him and his pup, Pablo, from start to finish.
Joey Pigza is a runner, a fast runner, one of the fastest. Next to running, he loves winning, his grandma, and his pup, Pablo. A summer race is the perfect concoction to gloat his spoils in running and winning. But after a series of head collisions and mishaps, Joey Pigza finds himself stuck in 5th grade summer school with the one teacher he despises, who is also the running coach. Joey Pigza teams up with his pup, Pablo, and together they learn to believe in themselves.
