Title: Good book, but sometimes sad
Review: This story of a young lad dropped off at his grandparents in Brooklyn, NY after the death of his mother and his father's desertion, is not always a happy read. I loved Joey's spunk and ability to survive in a dysfunctional, often cold environment. You will not like his grandmother, but his grandfather makes up for it. I felt such empathy towards Joey due to the cold, cruel people thrust into his life. He is a survivor, but sadly, did it have to be so hard? Nonetheless, I still enjoyed the book despite all of the hypens. Someone please edit this book and reissue it.
