Last year I gave the book to a 7th grade boy with ADHD. He told me some of the inaccuracies, but overall he loved it. He felt it described so much of what he feels and experiences. It really spoke to him. Yesterday, he came up to me in the hall really excited. He had been to Barnes & Noble and bought Joey Pigza Loses Control. He said he was loving it. I told him that it was a Newberry Honor book this year. He was aware of that, and was delighted. He is going to loan it to me when he is done! I am pleased that it won an honor, but more important to me is that he connected with the book and it brought him to read another.
