The Pigman's Legacy - Couverture souple

Discover the sequel to Paul Zindel’s groundbreaking bestselling young adult novel, The Pigman, which Publishers Weekly called “remarkable...a story that will not be denied.”

The Pigman and The Pigman’s Legacy are perfect for fans of modern classics like The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton and Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher.

Four months after their friendship with the Pigman ended in tragedy, John and Lorraine are passing by their old friend's empty house when they receive the shock of their lives: an elderly man has taken up residence in the abandoned home.

Convinced this down-and-out recluse is a sign from beyond the grave, John and Lorraine decide they've been given a chance to make up for what happened to the Pigman—a chance to make things right, once and for all.

Paul Zindel (1936-2003) was born and raised on Staten Island in New York. After teaching high school science for several years, he decided to pursue a career as a playwright. His first play, The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds, won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Shortly thereafter, he wrote his first novel for young adults, The Pigman, which has gone on to sell millions of copies. Mr. Zindel wrote more than fifty books over the course of his life, including the popular My Darling, My Hamburger; The Pigman’s Legacy, a sequel to The Pigman; and the autobiographical The Pigman and Me.
