When school lets out for the summer, Rufus Leroy Williams III, a determined pig who loves to read, decides to become a pirate.
I'll admit that I had the hardest time figuring out where this was going for about the first half of the book, but when it turned into a story about the power of reading I was hooked. Rufus is quite resourceful in his attempts to become a pirate, both in what he buys and the useful tasks he offers to perform and his tenacity pays off (great lesson!) with the fulfillment of his dream to find the very best kind of treasure.
