false <![CDATA[The Pigman]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171945493m/128092.jpg 128092 25 For sophomores John and Lorraine, the world feels meaningless; nothing is important. They <i>certainly</i> can never please their parents, and school is a chore. To pass the time, they play pranks on unsuspecting people. It's during one of these pranks that they meet the "Pigman"--a fat, balding old man with a zany smile plastered on his face. In spite of themselves, John and Lorraine soon find that they're caught up in Mr. Pignati's zest for life. In fact, they become so involved that they begin to destroy the only corner of the world that's ever mattered to them. Originally published in 1968, this novel by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Paul Zindel still sings with sharp emotion as John and Lorraine come to realize that "Our life would be what we made of it--nothing more, nothing less." 1948820 1969 The Pigman total:2591|5:558|4:877|3:818|2:258|1:80| 2591 9348 3091 248 4 2 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Feb 24 15:58:18 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 24 15:59:05 -0800 2008
