Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
"Move over Wilbur and Babe, there's a new pig in town." --School Library Journal (starred review)
Flora's a die-hard dreamer. She's never left the farm, but she knows she was born for adventure. She's determined to become a sled pig!
A harrowing voyage to Antarctica, a bacon-loving cook, and a shipwreck in deadly conditions stand between Flora and her dream. What will happen to Flora, whose companions see her as more of a meal than an adventurer?
As the ship's captain says, you never know where brains and talent will come from. They just may come from this brave pig.
"Flora the pig ditches the sedentary life on the farm for an adventure in Antarctica, where she escapes the knife and lives her dream of pulling a sled with a team of dogs"-- Provided by publisher.
