Youre farmers for a week, so youll be busy. Therell be no time to miss home. Youll eat like kings and queens, sleep like logs, and youll hardly be out of your wellies, except in bed.When a young boy goes from the city to stay on the farm, he discovers a world he never knew existed a world of vegetable gardens, ducks and geese, where the sheep graze in the fields, where apples and pears grow in the orchard.He also meets Jemima the pig: she smells and she slobbers, she breaks out of her pen to steal potatoes, and shes the undisputed queen of the farm. Soon, hes hiding acorns in his pockets to feed to her every time he sees her. But then, Jemima starts to feel ill. Could she have eaten too many acorns? Or does this queen of a pig have a secret?
