Can Jasmine save this tiny piglet from disaster?

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Jasmine's dad is a farmer, and her mum is a large-animal vet, so Jasmine spends a lot of time caring for animals and keeping them out of trouble. Unfortunately, this often means she gets into hot water herself...

In this first book in the series, A Piglet Called Truffle, Jasmine rescues a tiny piglet from certain death. But Jasmine's parents don't believe in farm animals being pets and insist that Truffle must be sold as soon as he's big enough. So Jasmine begins a campaign to keep him—one that doesn't seem to be going very well as Truffle gets older and ever-closer to market...

In the end, it takes two lost guinea pigs and one cold, frosty, nighttime adventure to save Truffle's bacon...

About the Author

Helen Peters grew up on an old-fashioned farm in Sussex, surrounded by family, animals and mud. She spent most of her childhood reading stories and putting on plays in a tumbledown shed that she and her friends turned into a theatre. After university, she became an English and Drama teacher. Helen lives with her husband and children in London, and she can hardly believe that she now gets to call herself a writer.
