Description

Since his much-publicized adoption at age three by American movie stars, thirteen-year-old Josef's carefully scripted public life has hidden the isolation he feels at home, but writing a book with a ghostwriter reveals much about his adoptive family and the one he lost during the war in Croatia.

I knew I was going to like this book, but it still surprised me with how good it was. Joe is adopted by a rich and famous Hollywood couple after his family is killed in a war. He is the poster child for whatever his parents decide. When his dad comes up with the idea of having him write a biography, Joe thinks he will finally get to tell things his way. But a ghost writer is going to be doing the actual writing. Soon however, Joe realizes that he may still get to tell things his way. In a coming of age story, we see how Joe learns to live with his family and the trials and tribulations that come with being the adopted son of the rich and famous. Heartwarming with a hint of mystery, this will be a favorite of many.
