Publisher's Note Best-selling writer Jimmy Buffett weaves an irresistible new tale---filled with colorful characters, wry humor, and the pursuit of a very clever pig.
When Southern belle Ellie McBride moves her twins from Vertigo, Tennessee to New York City, they wouldn't dream of leaving behind the family pig Rumpy. But the posh hotel where Ellie has found work (and living space) has "No Pets" writ large on its portal. So hiding Rumpy from the hotel staff---especially the ultra-carnivorous hotel chef, who would like nothing better than to transform their pet into pork roast---becomes imperative.
Moving their beloved pet pig from their Tennessee hometown to their new home in a posh no-pets-allowed New York City hotel, southern belle Ellie McBride and her twin children struggle to hide the swine from the hotel staff, including an ultra-carnivorous hotel chef. 600,000 first printing.
