Honky and Hugo and the Great Big Pig Heist Margaret Griffin

Meet Honky, the red-spotted piglet! Honky is small and sickly until she's nursed back to health in the home of a caring farmer. Hand reared and smaller than pigs her age, poor Honky is bullied by the other piglets and is ostracised for being different. Nearby is Hugo, a young boy with autism. Hugo also struggles because he feels different to other children and finds it difficult to fit in. Then Honky and Hugo meet one day, and life for the pair is never the same again! An unlikely friendship between the two blossoms and soon becomes an unshakable bond. We join the two pals as they embark on a remarkable adventure - masterminding a daring heist, championing animal welfare and changing hearts and minds along the way.

At its heart, Honky and Hugo and the Great Big Pig Heist is a story about the unbreakable bonds of friendship. The friends' extraordinary tale is also about care and dignity for animals and the importance of love, understanding and inclusion for everyone.
