Hey there, rebels! Today's Banned Books Week special is brought to you by Annie's life, circa 1993. Maybe the enjoyment I got out of The Pigman was due to the fact that I am also a native Staten Islander, so comments like "Paul Zindel lived on this street," were possible when my Mom was driving me to gymnastics. Or maybe it was because I was totally not a trouble maker and wanted to be more bad-a$$ like the kids in the book. Either way, I loved it and re-read it a lot.
It's sad that I haven't read it in so long, so perhaps I will dig my dogeared copy out of storage and bring it with me when I go on vacation next week.
Reason for being challenged: Obscene language, main characters are liars, cheaters, and thieves.
