Synopsis

Best-selling writer Jimmy Buffett weaves an irresistible new 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, Tennessee 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.

Enjoyable Readby traceynicole

November 04, 2008: This book turned out to be my favorite out of all of his books that I've read. Some parts I was even laughing out loud, and I enjoy books that make you do that. It's true that compared to his others I would consider this book more of a young-adult, but it was still great, and it would be perfect for kids who are struggling with moving to a new town, love soccer, have a pet pig, or is trying to hide their pig in a five-star-hotel with a crazy butcher that lives downstairs.

July 17, 2008: This is the first book by Buffett I've read and I really enjoyed it. The part about 'Respect' definitely had me rolling with laughter. I'll never look at pigs the same again.
