Synopsis
Eleven-year-old Louise Tolliver lives with her mother and her brother, Willie, in Tollivers' Hollow. Like any brother, Willie gives Louise a hard time, but the trouble really starts when Louise calls him a pig — and he becomes one.
And that's not all. Louise's father has been missing for seven years, and the locals are starting to wonder about Tollivers' Hollow. It's now up to Louise to use her wishes for good and make right all that's gone wrong. She uses her head, her heart, and a little bit of magic to bring her family back home.
Publishers Weekly
"`Be careful what you wish for' is the lesson that resounds throughout this offbeat fairy tale about a farm girl who calls her brother a pig at the exact moment she wishes upon a star," PW said. Ages 8-12. (Sept.) Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.

May 30, 2008: Wishes Kisses And Pigs is a very well written book by Betsy Hearne. This is my first time reading one of her books and I would recommend it to anyone with a few spare moments. It's a confusing but very interesting book. Somebody from 4th grade to really any age would enjoy it. But be aware-it's a sad book.

May 17, 2005: This book was not my favorite. I thought it just wasn't written very well and not much time or effort was put into the book; it was a dissappointment to me.
