Quick Summary
In this fourth installment of the beloved Joey Pigza series, Joey's notorious deadbeat dad waltzes back into town under a new name, claiming he's turned over a new leaf and demanding the whole family rename themselves and help him revive a crumbling diner. Readers will devour the page-turning tension of wondering if Dad's promises are real or just another one of his manipulative schemes, all while Joey's trademark chaotic energy and sharp wit keep them laughing through the suspense. If your kid loves the mix of humor and heart in Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Diper Överlöde a Wimpy Kid: Diper Överlöde Wimpy Kid or the underdog charm of Gordon Korman's Smiles, they'll be absolutely hooked on Joey's unpredictable journey. With an AR Level of 5.3, this book is perfect for kids in grades 4 through 7 who enjoy stories about messy families, clever kids, and the nail-biting question of whether people really can change.
