SynopsisJoin the millions of readers who have discovered The Pigman, the beloved, groundbreaking young adult classic from Paul Zindel, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds.

But now Mr. Pignati is dead. And for John and Lorraine, the only way to find peace is to write down their friend's story--the true story of the Pigman.
