Originally published in hardcover in 1972, A Day No Pigs Would Die was one of the first young adult books, along with titles like The Outsiders and The Chocolate War. In it, author Robert Newton Peck weaves a story of
a Vermont boyhood that is part fiction, part memoir. The result is a moving coming-of-age story that still resonates with teens today.©2010 Robert Newton Peck; (P)2010 Listening Library

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Reading this book is like sipping hot cider in front of a crackling potbellied stove. Every page is suffused with wit and charm and glowing with warmth.”–Newsweek

“A lovely book. . . . Honest, moving, homely in the warm and simple sense of the word. . . . It is small, accepting and loving and it succeeds perfectly.”–Boston Globe

“You’ll find yourself caught up in the novel’s emotion from the very opening scene. . . . Love suffuses every page.”–The New York Times

"With plenty of Yankee common sense and dry wit, and some pathos as the boy at 13 takes on the duties of a man. For boys of this age and for the young of any age."--School Library Journal.

Tear-jerker, but very good

Such a sweet coming of age story. Really enjoyed listening to this one. Down to earth and engaging.

Won’t be the same again

This book swept me right into its world and then took me to a place I’ve never been before. I loved every minute of it and now I want to be a better person because of it. If you’re even questioning, trust me. BUY THE BOOK.

True coming of age

I originally read this book in high school in 1987. In many ways, I think I was too young to appreciate it, though I did enjoy it. This is a terrific read. Through the years, I have reflected on this book. Recently, I thought about it again. I decided to give it a listen. Having experienced firsthand the climatic event, I have a greater appreciation for the book. I highly recommend it to others.

I really appreciate the narrator.
