The Peppermint Pig, winner of The Guardian Award for Children's Fiction, has been a favourite since it was first published over forty years ago.
"D'ya want a peppermint pig, Mrs Greengrass?" Poll looked at the milkman, thinking of sweets, but there was a real pig poking its snout out of the milkman's coat pocket. It was the tiniest pig she had ever seen.
It's a difficult year for the Greengrasses. Poll's father has gone overseas for work and the family has to rely on the generosity of two aunts. After moving to a small country town, Poll struggles to settle into her new life and she just can't seem to keep out of trouble! Everything changes when a clever, mischievous pig arrives. Can he bring joy and laughter back into their lives?
