Saving Marty

195 pp. | Dial | September, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-0-399-53907-7 $16.99
(3) 4-6 Lorenzo Ventura's sixth-grade year is hard: his mom struggles to save their peach orchard; his grandfather faces health problems; his best friend goes away to camp; and, worst of all, questions about his soldier dad's death still fester. But Renzo's adopted pet pig, Marty, sustains him through these challenges. Renzo's determination to keep Marty after an accident leads to satisfying surprises in this poignant, ultimately hopeful story.
