Joey's Journal is subtitled "Staying Strong when Far From Mom" and is the journal of a 12 year old boy whose Mom took a job offer on the other side of the country and decided to not move the family there. They visited back and forth and Joey and his sister continued to go to their regular school - and watch lots of American Idol. I guess that I was not the ideal audience for this book because to me it was just a journal of a young boy. "Today we..." every day... I didn't see him having too much struggle with his Mom being away - he was happy to visit her and happy when she visited him and other than that seemed to go on his merry way to school each day. This was a quick read and might be better for a family who is going through a similar situation. (I guess I need to stop picking books because I think they have cool covers)

I received a free e-copy of this book in order to write this review, I was not otherwise compensated.
