With his dad MIA in the wake of appearance-altering plastic surgery, Joey must give up school to look after his new baby brother and fill in for his mom, who hospitalizes herself to deal with a bad case of postpartum blues. As his challenges mount, Joey discovers a key that could unlock the secrets to his father's whereabouts, a mystery that must be solved before Joey can even hope that his broken family might somehow come back together--if only it doesn't pull him apart first. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis title has Common Core connections.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJack Gantos\u003c\/b\u003e was raised in the town of Norvelt, Pennsylvania, and now lives in Boston.
