The Pigman by Paul Zindel is a great book for young adults. This book is great for kids looking for an easy read about some funny stuff. John, Loraine, and Mr. Pignati have a great time feeding BOBO at the zoo, eating chocolate covered snails, and going on a shopping spree at the toy store. I won't tell you any more of the other hilarious stuff that happens but lets just say it includes playing tag on ruler blades in the house. The book ends on a more serious note with the death of one of the mian characters. To find out who you'll have to read the book. The thing I liked most about the book was that Paul Zindel wrote it like kids had wrote it. This is a great book to read for a chuckle.
