Saving Marty by Paul Griffin
3.0
A 2019-2020 Missouri Mark Twain Readers Award preliminary nominee (grades 4-6).
When Lorenzo's mom takes the pigs to slaughter she misses a piglet. Lorenzo bonds with the pig and doesn't want to give it up, but the family can't really afford it, plus once it is fully grown it will be too large to keep as a pet.
This was sweet, I guess, and sad. I just really am not a fan of Griffin's work. I liked Lorenzo's relationship with the pig. Everything else not so much. 2.5 stars.
