Pig signs his mum up to a dating website, and two men arrive to take her on a date at the same time. Book #4.
Quick Summary
If you've ever imagined yourself as a kid trying to play matchmaker for your mom, this story will hit the spot. Pig, the cheeky, talkative pig who always seems to have a plan, decides his mom's love life needs a boost and signs her up for a dating website only for two strangers to show up at the door at the exact same moment. The resulting chaos is pure middle-grade comedy: mix-ups, awkward conversations, and Pig's over-the-top attempts to keep the dates from colliding, all while learning a few lessons about respecting his mom's choices. At just under 3,000 words, the book is a fast, laugh-out-loud read that feels like a diary entry mixed with a sitcom, perfect for kids who like short, punchy chapters. It gently tackles the weird feeling of a kid trying to get a parent back into the dating world without ever getting too heavy, making it a good choice for both curious readers and those who just want a funny story. Fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid or the Dork Diaries series will feel right at home, and reluctant readers will appreciate how quickly they can finish and still walk away with a solid, heart-warming tale.
