Sticking With Pigs | Mary-Anne Scott

Uncle Jeremy has been helping the family out for a while now, by dropping off meat he's shot. The offer to go hunting sounds great to fourteen-year-old Wolf - a chance to get away from the family stress. But this hunting trip proves to be more than he bargained for.

'There is no doubt there is a fair bit of adrenaline involved in hunting (for females who hunt as well), but Mary-Anne has given us a spot-on portrayal of a teenager who is still learning his space in the world, making this more than just another yarn.' --thesapling.co.nz – Sarah Forster  'This story had no ‘boring bits’ as Wolf came across one challenge after another. Great kiwi lingo and reluctant reader heaven.' --whatbooknext.com – Adele Broadbent  'It’s a graphic, high-tension, sometimes shocking story that will appeal to boys aged about 12 to 14 who are interested in the idea of testing themselves by going pig-hunting in the wilderness.' --kidsbooksnz.blogspot.co.nz – Lorraine Orman
