The Pig Scrolls is a comedic adventure set in Ancient Greece, following Gryllus, a talking pig (formerly a man transformed by Circe), as he's recruited by Sibyl, a junior prophetess, to prevent the universe from ending. Joined by a bumbling goatherd (who turns out to be Zeus), their quest to Delphi is filled with encounters with gods, monsters, and a healthy dose of wit. This 304-page chapter book is perfect for middle-grade readers who enjoy mythology, humor, and talking animals, offering an engaging and accessible introduction to Greek myths while championing themes of courage, teamwork, and self-belief. It's a fantastic read-aloud for younger listeners or an independent read for those ready for a longer, fun adventure.
Presents the translation of an ancient Greek manuscript written by Gryllus, a talking pig who was once a man, describing the many adventures that he and his companions--a junior prophetess named Sybil and a bumbling goatherd--experience while traveling to Delphi to try to prevent the universe from coming to an end.
