The year is 1909 and Joseph has just immigrated to the United States from Russia. He thinks that life in New York City will be wonderful, but he has not bargained for the challenges of learning English and of resisting the pressures to skip school, steal and fight to earn a place among the boys in his neighbourhood. Just Call Me Joe presents a full picture of life in New York City for the working poor. Anna, Joe's older sister, struggles to cope with the terrible factory conditions of the time. Aunt Sophie must take in boarders to make ends meet. And Joseph must both accept change and remain true to himself in a new city with new challenges.

Introduction This story was inspired by a visit to the Raptor Rehabilitation Center in Sitka, Alaska in 1990. Thanks to the staff there for graciously answering all of my questions. As a retired teacher I have a strong interest in sharing with young people my enthusiasm for natural history and the preservation of our environment and its wildlife. . My characters, Joey and Buddy, are not real people but Valdez is a real city and, of course, the oil spill really did happen in 1989. All characters in the story are fictitious. The Raptor Rehabilitation Center has moved to a bigger and better facility and is now called The Alaska Raptor Center.
