Publisher Description
Bestselling writer Jimmy Buffett weaves an irresistible tale filled with colorful characters, wry humor, and the pursuit of a very clever pig.
When Southern belle Ellie McBride moves her twins from Vertigo, to New York City, they wouldn't dream of leaving behind the family pig Rumpy. But the posh hotel where Ellie has found work (and living space) has "No Pets" writ large on its portal. So hiding Rumpy from the hotel staff -- -especially the ultra-carnivorous hotel chef, who would like nothing better than to transform their pet into pork roast -- -becomes imperative.
Customer Reviews
A sow makes good in New York
This is a wonderful story of an unusual family: a female pot bellied pig, a cat, two teenagers and a talented mother who take up residence in a penthouse apartment in a posh hotel in New York City. As well there is an occasional father who shows up at crucial times. Rumpy the pig is a stand out, and her adventures make exciting reading, but the other family members share the spotlight often, and brilliantly. This is an example of collaborative writing at its best, and both authors are to be congratulated on a witty, charming and thoroughly engrossing story that never lets up in its action. Oh yes, and there is a squadron of pigeons doing good works and a baddy that eventually reforms. I cannot find a fault in this book, and definitely am waiting for a sequel.
