In this sweet and funny middle-grade animal adventure, illustrated with charming black-and-white drawings, Flora the pig escapes the pen and encounters a team of glorious and noble sled dogs. She forms a dream: She wants to become a sled pig! The next chance she gets, Flora allows herself to be loaded onto a ship headed for the South Pole. On the high seas, she's forced to fight nasty food-stealing rats. When the ship crashes, she barely saves herself. Will it even matter? Shipwrecked in the Antarctic, she's the perfect emergency meal. But as the captain says, you never know where brains and talent will come from. They just may come from Flora, who has the courage to dream big.
