Published in 1988, Jojo was Caron's first attempt at writing fiction. In this novel, a half-breed Indian by the name of Lloyd Stonechild begins his life on a reserve in Western Manitoba and grows up to be strong, handsome, and ominously quiet.

Unlike Caron's first two books, Jojo was not well received by critics who panned its lack of character depth.
