When Josie's college-age brother Tom smuggles home a runt pig on Thanksgiving, she vows to take care of "Hamlet" and to convince her parents to keep him. One problem-they, a family of seven, live in a townhouse in the city. Her deadline-New Year's Day
Hamlet proves to be endearing but also proves to invite trouble- like toppling an apple pie on their dad's high-strung, highly opinionated boss, opening the fridge and spraying soda on a police officer, escaping their yard and destroying next door neighbor Mrs. Taglioni's (who is very grouchy) backyard and slipping into her house via the cat door . . .
A wholesome, family tale with humor and heart
To discuss-Josie,who is twelve, develops a bit of a crush on her close friend. He also likes her.
