      Wie zwei Minischweine unser Familien-leben auf den Kopf stellten

      Schwein gehabt! – Charmant, offen und mit viel Herz bringt Matt Whyman den (fast) ganz normalen Familienwahnsinn auf den Punkt Nachdem Matt Whymans sechsköpfige Familie eine der beiden Hauskatzen durch einen Autounfall und zwei der drei Haushühner durch einen Fuchs verloren hat, muss dringend ein neues tierisches Familienmitglied her. Das jedenfalls meint Matts Frau Emma, der das Haus nie voll genug sein kann. Im Scherz schlägt Matt ein Schwein vor. Ein Scherz mit Folgen. Denn was Emma sich in den Kopf setzt, führt sie auch aus. Und so dauert es nicht lange, bis der Whyman‘sche Familienverband neben den Kindern Lou, May, Honey und Frank, dem soziopathischen Kater Miso, der ehemaligen Legehenne Maggie und dem Schäferhund Sesi auch die beiden Minischweine Roxi und Butch umfasst. Die beiden – ach so niiiedlichen – Neuankömmlinge gedeihen prächtig. Und sie machen sich schnell daran, Haus und Familie völlig auf den Kopf zu stellen ...

      Matt Whyman, scrittore di professione, è uno che ama la vita casalinga e la tranquillità. Peccato che sua moglie Emma, donna in carriera, sia di tutt’altro avviso: a causa di un’infanzia troppo solitaria, predilige di gran lunga il caos di una famiglia molto allargata. Così, oltre a quattro figli, casa Whyman ospita due felini – uno socievole e uno perfido –, un cane che sembra un lupo della steppa e un mucchio selvaggio di galline. Finché uno dei gatti (quello socievole) muore investito da un’auto. Chi arriverà al suo posto? si chiede con terrore Matt. Quando Emma gli manda una mail con l’immagine di due piccolissimi porcellini e il messaggio: “Che carini” seguito da ben tre punti esclamativi, Matt capisce quale sarà il suo destino. In men che non si dica, ecco due baldanzosi minimaialini fare il loro ingresso a casa Whyman. Prima vittima del loro entusiasmo: il divano. È solo l’inizio di una serie di esilaranti vicissitudini, in cui il povero scrittore in cerca di quiete dovrà vedersela con i due diavoletti rosa, senza nemmeno poter dire al resto della famiglia: “O me o loro!” perché la risposta la conosce già- Oink! è un libro tenero e divertentissimo, traboccante di buffe avventure e di amore per gli animali, anche quelli più piccoli, rosa e scatenati. Come Io & Marley , un libro che fa ridere, sorridere e tocca decisamente il cuore.
