Description

From Alpaca My Bags author Jenny Goebel comes another heartwarming tale of friendship, loyalty, and finding your voice.

Twelve-year-old Grace is desperate for a puppy. All she wants is someone to love and to love her back. Someone who wont disappear on her like her dad did. Someone wholl make her new stepfathers house feel like home.

Christmas morning, Grace springs out of bed hopeful that her dreams are about to come true. But the present that awaits her isnt soft and furry. It doesnt have padded paws. And instead of a dark, wet nose, theres a flat, pink nose instead. Its not a puppy at all its a PIG.

Grace tries to make the best of the situation. She names the pig Bernard and dutifully learns how to care for him. But spending time with him is nothing like being with a dog. Bernard is awful at playing fetch and walking on a leash in fact, hes all around terrible at doing the things Grace dreamed of doing with a pet. But when a good friend lands in the hospital, Grace discovers that Bernard might have a special talent for making sick people feel better and that his calling might be as a certified therapy animal.

Grace loves the idea of visiting patients with Bernard and bringing a smile to their faces during an otherwise tough time. But can Grace convince her skeptical family to get on board? Or will she and Bernard both end up out in the cold?
