I really liked Dead End in Norvelt. Which books would you recommend?

Jack Gantos I'd start with the sequel to Dead End: FROM NORVELT TO NOWHERE.
You might also try the "Joey Pigza" books. Start with THE KEY THAT SWALLOWED JOEY PIGZA. He's a great kid--full of life, even when his life is a wreck. Thanks, J
