Every Saturday, you share (recommend) a book, preferably one that you haven't reviewed yet. It's just a way to get other books out into the blogging world. This is NOT a review.
Today I'm going to recommend Good-Bye Pink Pig by C. S. Adler.
Amanda would rather live in a fantasy world of her imagination than go to her new middle school, where the custodian is the grandmother she has never met.

Unfortunately, this book is out of print (and seems to have been for a while). There's also a sequel, but it was published a few years later (so I probably would have thought it was too young for me at that time).
These books are firmly in the middle-grade category, but from what I can remember, Good-Bye Pink Pig was a beautiful story about a girl who, accompanied by her friend, Pink Pig (who is a miniature porcine figurine come to life), escapes into a fantasy world when she feels like she doesn't belong in the real one. One of these days, I'll have to see if I can find a copy to read again. I have such fond memories of this one from my childhood; I want to see if it's as good as I remember!
Too bad it’s out of print, Noe is always looking for age appropriate books! Great post though.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
It sounds like a bittersweet story. I haven't been by your blog in a while but I see you're reading The Dark Divine? I hope you like it, that was one of the best books I read over the summer!
ReplyDeleteHa, I just saw your Twitter post. I'm really looking forward to your review, and I can understand your feelings because I had the same type of problems with "Beautiful Creatures" for some reason.
