Jessica Finch loves pigs, pigs, pigs. With her birthday coming up, Jessica hopes that, just maybe, her present will be a real-live potbellied pig. Jessica can hardly wait for her party with Judy Moody and all their friends.

But Judy Moody is acting like a pig-head, and Jessica UN-invites her from the party. To make matters worse, Jessica has snooped around the house and has found zero sign of a pig present. Could her birthday be any more of a disaster?

From Megan McDonald comes a new Judy Moody story just right for newly independent readers. Judy Moody fans will be in pig heaven! ($5, amazon.com)
