About this audiobook
Can a pig pretend to be a boy? Sure—and be pretty convincing at it, too—if he’s a pig about to be barbecued. “I shall have to change my identity completely,” Farmer Quigley’s pig decides when he overhears Quigley discussing plans that involve a grill. “This is the time for action.”
