Description

Jasmine’s dad is a farmer, and her mum is a large-animal vet, so Jasmine spends a lot of time caring for animals and keeping them out of trouble. Unfortunately, this often means she gets into hot water herself. In the first installment of the series, A Piglet Called Truffle, Jasmine rescues a tiny piglet from certain death. Despite her parents' belief that farm animals should not be pets, Jasmine is determined to keep Truffle and give her a permanent home. A daring rescue during a freezing, stormy night might be just what it takes to prove that Truffle truly belongs with the family. This compelling story will evoke both laughter and tears, reminiscent of the work of Dick King-Smith for a new generation.
