Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Meet Mr. Pignati, a lonely old man with a beer belly and an awful secret. He's the Pigman, and he's got a great big twinkling smile. When John and Lorraine, two high school sophomores, meet Mr. Pignati, they learn his whole sad, zany story. They tell it right here in this book — the truth, and nothing but the truth — no matter how many people it shocks or hurts.

Review:

Two lonely high school students befriend a strange old man, Mr. Pignati. "An intensely moving story of believably alienated young people." Library Journal

This book shows the "Power of love." It is based on
the author's experiences with other people who become
a part of the story. This is the best book I've ever read
considering that I read many books.
