Description
No phone, no wi-fi, no friends, and no options.
Expelled from three schools, Joey is sent to the country to live with his aunt. She asks him to help an old man recovering from an accident, and now he has a choice. It sounds like a crazy idea, but he chooses to help. What else is there to do, a million miles from anywhere?
But when Joey meets Harry, he finds in him a friend—even if he's eighty-five. Maybe life, when people trust you, might be a good thing.
As Joey's desire for acceptance grows, break-ins threaten the community and Joey's past starts to catch up with him. How can Joey turn his life around when his mistakes follow him everywhere he goes? And will he be there for Harry when he needs him?
Last Chance Joey explores themes of redemption, trust, and growing up in unexpected situations.
