Pigboy by Vicki Grant

Have you ever snickered, giggled, or outright laughed when you heard someone's name? What if your last name was Hogg? Daniel's last name is Hogg and he has heard every joke imaginable with his name. It does not help that Daniel is scrawny in size, wears coke glasses or is blind, and is allergic to almost everything. The class bully Shane just loves to give Daniel grief. Then to top it off, the class field trip this year is to some lame place that his teacher picked. A pig farm that is run in the traditional way - no electricity, no modern equipment - how lame is that??? Shane has already made remarks about the connection to Daniels' last name and the farm. What could get worse? Once the students arrive at the farm, things don't seem right, the farmer, Mr. Van Wert doesn't act like what Daniel thinks a farmer should act like. As a tour guide, this farmer is lousy, but maybe, just maybe he might not be the farmer. Things get mysterious when Daniel needs to leave the group because of his allergies. What does he discover? What is going on at this farm? To find out more, pick up Pigboy and read it.
