This book is about a young pig called Sarah Piggins that lives in a family of 14 siblings and one mother. But when their mother leaves the family pigsty for a job on a yacht, the 14 siblings have the choice to learn to fend for themselves or become bacon sandwiches. When Sarah Piggins starts her own business of selling cakes and brownies her evil siblings steal her profit to go to the circus but although she is furious, she meets a famous ringmaster who kidnaps her a few days later. After being kidnapped Sarah wakes up on a cargo ship and gets shipped off to an island where the ringmaster forces her to pick up poop.
This was a really good book and had lots of interesting scenes and most of the time it got you thinking what is going to happen next. I highly recommend this book to someone who likes exciting and interesting books.
