“A Day No Pigs Would Die” by Robert Newton Peck is one of my favorite books of all time. It is a coming of age story, set in the 1970’s, about a Shaker boy named Robert Peck. The author weaves a beautiful story of the hardships faced by this average 13 year old boy as he grows up. The main character discovers that becoming an adult is not that easy. He faces the fact that sometimes you have to do what is right even if it is difficult. This story is full of wonderful moments of joy that make you smile. But, just like life this book has some dark and tough moments that the reader has to face just like the characters. What makes this book so good is that when you finish it you will smile and view the world and yourself a little differently.
