Reviews
โThis quick read is perfect for reluctant readers, especially boys. In a story of bravery and redemption, Grant moves quickly to first establish Danโs post on the lowest rung of the social ladder, and then chronicles his eventual rise to the top.โ โGrant hits the nail on the head when she brings both mucous and underwear into the story lineโฆGrant writes a compelling story with lots of suspense, but it's the journey to Danโs personal redemption that is most enjoyable to readโฆHighly recommended.โ "Middle school readers will appreciate this adventure." "It would suit high interest low vocabulary readers with its brevity and reading level, but the high action and excellent writing, not to mention the likable main character, would make it a good choice for any reader.""Dan's wry sense of humor catches readers' attention and has them rooting for him practically from the first page. Pigboy is a great quick read for boys who may be reluctant readers, but others will enjoy it as well."
