Description

Fans of Because of Winn-Dixie will adore this heart-wrenching story of the friendship between a boy and a pig who thinks it’s a dog.

Eleven-year-old Lorenzo would never describe himself as a hero. No, a hero is someone rare—like his father, who died in the war, or his friend Paloma Lee, who fearlessly pursues her dream of being a famous musician. But Renzo’s chance comes when he adopts Marty, a runt piglet.Marty is extraordinary—he thinks he’s a dog and acts like one too—and his bond with Renzo is truly one of a kind.

But as Marty approaches 350 pounds, it becomes harder for Renzo to convince his mother that a giant pig makes a good pet…especially after Marty causes a dangerous (and expensive) accident. Renzo knows Marty’s time is up. He’d do anything and everything for his best friend, but will everything be enough to save Marty?
