    <![CDATA[“I’m a brand-new man with a brand-new plan.”<br/><br/>Joey Pigza is knocked for a loop when his good-for-nothing dad shows up on his doorstep as a recycled person. After a lucky lotto win, Carter Pigza truly believes he’s somebody else. He’s even renamed himself Charles Heinz–and he insists that Joey and his mother join his happy Heinz family plan. <br/><br/>“My head felt like it was full of bees, and they were busy in ways that were bad for me.”<br/><br/>Joey has little choice but to embrace a head-spinning series of changes, which include having to leave school to help out at the beat-up roadside diner his dad has purchased. But Joey is afraid that in going with the flow he will go over the falls and end up in a place far away from who he really is. <br/><br/>In this seriously comic new novel, Jack Gantos pushes his acclaimed hero into entirely new territory, where he wrestles with issues of identity and forgiveness, and teaches himself how to triple-flip a turkey burger while shouting out his new favorite phrase . . . <br/><br/>“Do you want fries with that?”]]>

He thinks Joey and his mom should become new people, too. Soon Joey finds himself bombarded with changes: a new name, a new home, and a new family business &#8211; running the beat-up Beehive Diner. He knows he should forgive his dad as his mom wants him to, and get with the new family program. But Joey is afraid that in changing names and going with the flow he will lose sight of who he really is. <br/> <br/>In this rocket-paced new chapter in Joey Pigza&#8217;s life, a favorite hero discovers what identity and forgiveness really mean, and how to cook a delicious turkey burger. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I needed an audiobook. I love Joey Pigza, and Jack Gantos; just not sure if I like him as a narrator.<br/>He grew on me...but this story is much more about Joey's dysfunctional parents and their re-wedding and schemes and plans than about Joey. Nowhere near as good as the first two in the series.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Just when Joey Pigza&#8217;s wired world finally seems to be under control, his good-for-nothing dad pops back into his life. This time, though, Carter Pigza is a new man &#8211; literally. After a lucky lotto win, Carter Pigza has a crazy new outlook on life, and he&#8217;s even changed his name to Charles Heinz. He thinks Joey and his mom should become new people, too. Soon Joey finds himself bombarded with changes: a new name, a new home, and a new family business &#8211; running the beat-up Beehive Diner. He knows he should forgive his dad as his mom wants him to, and get with the new family program. But Joey is afraid that in changing names and going with the flow he will lose sight of who he really is. <br/> <br/>In this rocket-paced new chapter in Joey Pigza&#8217;s life, a favorite hero discovers what identity and forgiveness really mean, and how to cook a delicious turkey burger. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Just when Joey Pigza&#8217;s wired world finally seems to be under control, his good-for-nothing dad pops back into his life. This time, though, Carter Pigza is a new man &#8211; literally. After a lucky lotto win, Carter Pigza has a crazy new outlook on life, and he&#8217;s even changed his name to Charles Heinz. He thinks Joey and his mom should become new people, too. Soon Joey finds himself bombarded with changes: a new name, a new home, and a new family business &#8211; running the beat-up Beehive Diner. He knows he should forgive his dad as his mom wants him to, and get with the new family program. But Joey is afraid that in changing names and going with the flow he will lose sight of who he really is. <br/> <br/>In this rocket-paced new chapter in Joey Pigza&#8217;s life, a favorite hero discovers what identity and forgiveness really mean, and how to cook a delicious turkey burger. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>
