A many-layered book about a lonely latch-key child; a favourite book of my oldest daughter when she was in middle school. Is Amanda's fantasy world, where Pink Pig is her best friend and an evil wizard threatens the Little World inhabited by her collection of glass miniatures, really more divorced from reality than her elegant mother's fantasy world in which Amanda's older brother Dale, a less-than-stellar scholar and a competent team player, will win an athletic scholarship or qualify academically for an Ivy League college?

Book description

Amanda could never be lonely...as long as she had Pink Pig.

Pink Pig is Amanda's best friend, and the only one who understands how it feels to be ten years old and lonely and scared. The little pig is made of rose quartz and is small enough to fit in the palm of Amanda's hand. But Pink Pig has magical powers that can transport Amanda to the amazing Little World, where they can dance and play together all day in the sunshine.

But then an evil wizard threatens to destroy the beautiful Little World, and it is Amanda who is brave enough to save Pink Pig and all the other miniature creatures. Amanda's family tells her she is living in a world of make-believe, but after she has faced all the dangers of Pink Pig's world - and won - Amanda is a new person...strong and confident, and ready to find happiness in her own world.
