(4) YA Masi's Chicago neighborhood, Pig Park, got its name from the once-thriving lard factory there. Now those jobs have gone away, and with them the neighborhood's economic stability. Masi and her friends get involved with a plan to build a tourist attraction to revive their neighborhood. Refreshingly diverse topics and characters notwithstanding, this novel suffers from too many plot lines and themes.
