Fourteen-year-old Dan Hogg has buckteeth, wears coke-bottle glasses and is allergic to just about everything. It's no surprise that his classmates call him Pigboy and bully him mercilessly. But when a fieldtrip to the farm turns into a terrifying experience for the entire class, Dan get his chance to stretch beyond the limits his reputation and show what he is really made of. As the only one not in captivity, Dan frantically struggles to keep one step ahead of the bad guy — sometimes to hilarious effect. Written with empathy and humour, Pigboy gets inside the victim and shows the real boy — his spirit, his wit, his courage.
