YAOrca Currents series.
Dan Hogg, a.k.a. Pigboy, can't believe his bad luck when his class takes a field trip to a pig farm. He's prepared for taunting, but not the deadly situation waiting at the farm or his unlikely role as hero. This slim but well-developed novel clearly targets reluctant readers and is memorable for its sustained intensity.
