He's Not a Pig; He's My Brother by Mark Tiffany

 

Genre: Children's Chapter Book

Source:  Purchased

In this great adventure Carter, acting as the big brother decides he should be the alpha. He claims since they came from wolves that have an alpha leader, and since he is the oldest, he should be the alpha. He tells his half-brother Jack that he gets first choice on everything.  Jack disagrees. This causes an argument and Jack and Carter stop talking. Their human parents can see the issue and are not sure what has caused it. Matthew decides they need to follow the advice of a dog whisperer. When he becomes the alpha Carter doesn't like it. While watching a TV commercial about pig races Carter gets the bright idea to become a pig racer. There is just one issue, he isn't a pig. Carter runs away  to the fair where the pig races are held. He disguises himself and joins in the races.  His parents and half brother look for him everywhere. Finally Jack writes a letter to the pig racer man asking about his brother. He decides to go and look for him. When Matthew and Erin realize that Jack is also gone they become even more sad. Will Jack find his brother and convince him to come home?  Will Matthew and Erin ever see their beloved pets again?  I loved how the book shows that love can overcome just about anything.  I am really enjoying the books by this author.
