JOEY GOES TO SCHOOL is Volume 2 in Alan Eggleston's acclaimed JOEY series. This book chronicles the challenges, humor, friendships, mishaps, and relationships of an unforgettable young boy in his formative years. In this volume, Joey experiences real-life dilemmas that confront virtually all youngsters: facing the consequences of risk-taking; deciding how to deal with a friend who steals; making friends with the opposite sex; discovering productive alternatives to day-dreaming his way through school; and, perhaps above all, taking to heart the wisdom offered by his brother, friends, grandparents, and particularly his father and mother. For many young readers, the JOEY series may be the first real "chapter book" they read, filled with adventures and lessons they may well remember for life. Illustrations are by Catherine LaPointe, www.lapointeart.com. The author welcomes communication from young readers as well as their parents and teachers through his publisher, www.lexingfordpublishingllc.com.
