me think I didnât have to. She said, âI certainly hope Iâll bump into you on the street some time soon.â Itâs funnyâbut that made me feel kind of better. I watched her step out the door. Iâm pretty sure she smiled as she closed it behind her. As she got in the car, Richard elbowed me in the ribs and whispered, âI told you Nicky Nicky Nine Doors would be fun.â

Praise for Pigboy by Vicki Grant âGrant hits the nail on the head when she brings both mucous and underwear into the story line...Grant writes a compelling story with lots of suspense, but itâs the journey to Danâs personal redemption that is most enjoyable to read...Highly recommended.â âCM Magazine âThis quick read is perfect for reluctant readers, especially boys. In a story of bravery and redemption, Grant moves quickly to first establish Danâs post on the lowest rung of the social ladder, and then chronicles his eventual rise to the top.â âKLIATT âDanâs wry sense of humor catches readersâ attention and has them rooting for him practically from the first page. Pigboy is a great quick read for boys who may be reluctant readers, but others will enjoy it as well.â âSchool Library Journal
