In a Pig's Eye
by Judie Wolkoff[From the front dust jacket flap:] Maisie Blumm and Glenda Jax are best friends--even while they aren't speaking. Which is often. They are both fourth graders at Fairview School in Deer Creek, Connecticut, and each is the owner of the world's most dearly-loved dog. So what if Glenda's Snookums looks like a "hairy mouse", granddaughter of a dustmop (Maisie's opinion). So what if Maisie's Oxie must be a mix of squirrel and baboon, and flea-brained besides (ask Glenda). Girls--and dogs, too--share some hilarious good times. For example, there is the afternoon when Lloyd Blumm is downtown buying a record and Maisie and Glenda can finally sneak a look to see if his room really is booby-trapped. (He's rigged up something! And the reason for that is a small item which appeared in The Poppin Road Gazette about the incredible condition of the "pig sty" he calls his bedroom. The publishers of the paper--Maisie and Glenda--have gone too far in their "DID YOU KNOW?" gossip column, and now Lloyd has declared war). Other good times include the heroic results of the great balloon send-off and the unexpected ending of the Deer Creek Dog Show, when Oxie and Snookums compete head to head for blue ribbons. But wait! All ends well... or does it? Only best friends forgive, forget and survive a crisis laughing.
