Beryl Goes Wild

by Jane Simmons

Alone in the wild, Beryl is befriended by Amber, a scruffy little wild pig whose family is forced to find a new home, as pink pigs are banned by their community. They face great dangers - bears, wolves and raging rivers - but are rescued by a solitary lost pig who looks rather familiar...

Accompanied by heart-melting charcoal drawings, this is an endearing tale of families and friendship, loyalty and adventure and a valuable lesson in not judging a pig by its whiskers.
