Saving Marty by Paul Griffin
3.0
A pig that thinks it's a dog. What's not to like? I'm afraid this one didn't start out strong for me. Lorenzo adopts Marty who is the runt of the litter. Marty quickly becomes bigger than the family can manage and Lorenzo's mother is pushing for Marty to be sold.
The first third of this books feels a bit rushed and underdeveloped. There are big gaps in time. I understand that this is aimed at younger kids, but I don't believe the plot line has to be sacrificed as a consequence.
I am glad I stuck with it, as the story pays off in the final third of the book.
