German Youth Literature Prize

"We have a pig at home. I don't mean my little sister..." It all started when Zuppi won the grand prize in a raffle: a piglet. Rudi Rüssel thoroughly changes the family's daily life. However, the landlord Buselmeier has no appreciation for this type of pet. So the family moves to the edge of a large soccer field. Here, the father, an unemployed Egyptologist, can become the groundskeeper and let Rudi be a pig in peace. But then house pig Rudi discovers his true potential as a racing pig...

A reading delight for the whole family - with or without a pet.
