Description

[Machine Translation] Joey is a boy in the fourth grade. He always acts before thinking, causing a lot of commotion. He has no bad intentions, but he just can't sit still and is considered a "problem child" by those around him. His mother, who had left him when he was very young, comes back and he starts a new life, but then he has an accident in the classroom and injures a girl in his class, and he is sent to a "special needs center" for a while. Joey is depressed, thinking that he may not be able to go back to his old school. However, the support center is not the scary place Joey had imagined. After receiving appropriate treatment and counseling, Joey gradually gains control over his thinking and behavior... This is a captivating story that captures the inner life of a young boy with a rich personality and a touch of humor. A National Book Award finalist. Suitable for middle and upper grades elementary school students and up.
