Story Summary

Twelve year old Lisi has wished for a pet pig every day of her twelve years and can't believe her ears when she discovers that Wanda Bright, the fashionista of the Bronx, the Bling Lady, shares her wish. Even better Wanda shows up one day with her oh so stylish purse which is wiggling ever so slightly because it contains their very own, secret, shared pet pig ... and better yet, the pig is wearing a houndstooth coat, sparkling earrings and necklace, a pig with bling!
