He8217;s also changed his name from Carter Pigza to Charles Heinz.
Joey8217;s mom thinks it8217;s perfectly normal because she used to be Fran and now she8217;s Maria.
Now Charles and Maria are calling Joey a new name, too.
Freddy.
And it turns out they were never divorced. They8217;re even renewing their vows.
And the whole family is going to run a diner together.
Should Joey8217;s parents really be the ones making all the decisions around here?
In this fourth Joey Pigza book, the frenetic sixth grader struggles with having his loser dad back in the picture and a whole new reality. With a lotto winning, Carter Pigza has rechristened himself "Charles Heinz" and hopes that Joey and his mom, Fran, will gleefully join in the fantasy. Joey finds himself helping out with his dad's new scheme, a diner, and putting on a good face for his hopeful mom. Life has never been more complicated, or more hilarious, for the illustrious Joey Pigza.
