for The Unlikely Story of a Pig in the City by Jodi Kendall and Pascal Campion
From the Publisher
A “heartwarming and satisfying” middle grade novel about a young city girl’s adventure as she searches for a forever home for a pig (Booklist).
Josie Shilling’s too-big family lives in a too-small city house, and sometimes she feels invisible. But all that changes when her brother brings home a tiny piglet he rescued from a farm. Her name is Hamlet. And the moment Josie holds her, she feels an instant bond.
But there’s no room for Hamlet in the crowded Shilling household. And whoever heard of keeping a pig in the city? So it’s up to Josie to find her a forever home. Along the way, she’ll learn what it really means to grow bigger when you’ve always felt small.
