Pigboy

"Grant hits the nail on the head... A compelling story with lots of suspense, but it's the journey to Dan's personal redemption that is most enjoyable to read."
Highly recommended.
CM magazine

"Grant has done a fantastic job of developing the voice of an adolescent who is the class bully's whipping boy. Dan's wry sense of humor catches readers' attention and has them rooting for him practically from the first page. Pigboy is a great quick read for boys who may be reluctant readers but others will enjoy it as well."
School Library Journal

"This quick read is perfect for reluctant readers, especially boys. In a story of bravery and redemption, Grant moves quickly to first establish Dan's post on the lowest rung of the social ladder, and then chronicles his eventual rise to the top."

"Author Vicki Grant does a great job capturing the reader's interest and holding it with plenty of both humor and suspense."
