Synopsis

Ted Tubbs just can't bring himself to send Ace to market with the other piglets. Is it because of his curious marking, or is it because Ace seems to understand every word the old farmer says? The author's previous books include "The Sheep-Pig", winner of the Guardian Children's Fiction Award.
