Miss Meg recommends Saving Marty by Paul Griffin
Lorenzo (aka Renzo) Ventura, eleven years old, 6 feet tall and 250 lbs. lives on a struggling peach farm in rural PA. When the family's pet lab, Bella, gives birth to a litter of puppies, she and Renzo discover a runt piglet that was left behind and become caretakers of the small pig. Renzo names him Marty after his late father, an Army Sargent who died a hero in the war. While the family farm seems a perfect place to raise Marty, Renzo's mom is struggling to stay financially afloat and when Marty reaches 350 lbs., it becomes harder and harder to justify keeping him. As life swirls around Renzo, causing him to question many things, including truths about his father's death, Marty becomes a central and important figure in his life. When Renzo's best friend, Paloma, a talented and aspiring musician, moves far away to music school, Renzo becomes more committed than ever to find a way to keep his beloved Marty. Author Griffin has created in Renzo, a gentle giant with a huge heart who radiates goodness, truth and an indomitable spirit against the odds.
