Saving Marty

by

Cover art
February 25, 2019 Lara P says:
Ya know, just another story about a boy and his dog, er, pig. But Marty's no ordinary pig.
Dreaming of surfing, playing the guitar or becoming a veterinarian while he lets his friend do all the talking, quiet Renzo forges a bond with an extraordinary pig who is there for him during hard times, a situation complicated by family difficulties that put the pig's security at risk.

I manage the library's technical services department. I like to read psychological thrillers, literary fiction, creative nonfiction and poetry, and I love it when I stumble on amazing kids' books while reading aloud to my daughter. I love words and details, and if I'm not reading or writing, you might find me dangerously close to busting out Zumba moves in public places.
