Synopsis
« Toujours un perdant, cochon », dit Stormin. « Je suppose que vous n'avez pas beaucoup appris cet été. »
« Oh, je ne sais pas, » répondis-je, sanglant, incliné et détestant ses tripes. « I can read ».
C'est quand il me donne un coup de pied. Je devrais vraiment apprendre à fermer ma stupide bouche.
En voyant Stormin complètement occupé, le reste de l'année 9 recule, bien qu'ils attendent qu'il soit parti avant de reprendre leurs commentaires.
« Loser ».
« Lâche ».
« Hopeless ».
« Chatte ».
« Cochon ».
C'est moi : Morgan Patrick Lohdi – autrement connu sous le nom de Pig.
La vie est nulle pour Morgan Patrick Lohdi. Utilisé comme sac de frappe scolaire, il est constamment meurtri et harcelé, et n'a rien qui ressemble même à un ami. Peut-être que ce serait bien s'il pouvait garder sa bouche fermée, mais Morgan a une langue sarcastique qu'aucune quantité d'intimidation ne va garder le silence.
Et puis il y a Lissa, la fille qu'il pensait être son amie. Qui aurait pu même être quelque chose de plus - si les intimidateurs ne l'avaient pas fait tourner le dos.
Lorsque la salle d'art brûle et que le refuge de Morgan disparaît, les choses empirent et il est déterminé à finalement l'arrêter. Mais apprendra-t-il à lutter contre le travail ? Ou est-il possible de tourner l'autre joue ? Ou, juste peut-être, l'aide viendra-t-elle de la source la plus improbable?
Otherwise Known as Pig est un livre sur l'intimidation, les angles morts de la taille de la planète des adultes et l'apprentissage à accepter de l'aide.
