Freddy and the Pig is a hilarious and super accessible title from Charlie Higson, specially designed for severely struggling, reluctant, and dyslexic readers. This book offers a hi-lo reading experience with a reading age of 6 and an interest age of 8+.

An Xbox-loving boy devises a cunning plan to send a pig to school in his place. Meanwhile, the pig becomes the Star Pupil, and Freddy begins to take on pig-like behaviour at home.
