The Pigman

This book is about two high school students (John and Lorraine) who are best friends and like to prank call random people. One day, they call a friendly but lonely old man who thinks they are from an organization. The three soon become close friends and have great adventures. I liked this book a lot because it was realistic, had a wonderful plot, and a great hook to it. I also loved the fact that John and Lorraine switched off telling the chapters from their point of view.
