Reviews
The Pigman is a groundbreaking young adult novel that has never been released in audio until now. McWade gives John a wry undertone that meshes with his personality. Riegel's Lorraine is both smarty-pants and vulnerable. Includes an interview with the author who discusses his craft. A great way to introduce a new generation to the popular books. -- Sally Miculek Booklist Zindel's classic novel turns 40 this year, and this moving, beautifully performed audio production is a simply delightful happy birthday commemorative. Riegel and McWade do outstanding jobs and are in perfect harmony with the material. Includes an interview with Zindel, who provides interesting background on many of his works. Highly recommended. -- Francine Levitov Sound Commentary
