Review by Booklist Review
One morning, Harold the hamster awakens Pigsticks with the urgent news that Tuptown is about to be destroyed! Unless Pigsticks can purchase Tuptown from Sir Percival Snout by noon the next day, Percival will start tearing it down and building a mansion in its place. Unfortunately, Pigsticks has no money, but he remembers rumors of buried treasure on Little Piggy Island. With the help of his trusty first mate, Harold, Pigsticks sets off to find the treasure and save the town. Milway's cartoonlike illustrations are full of humorous details and variety, and feature such things as a treasure map, an inventory of pirate gear, tongue-in-cheek labels, and speech-bubble dialogue. This third chapter-book adventure featuring friends Pigsticks and Harold will keep readers engaged until the end.--Petty, J. B. Copyright 2016 Booklist

When Tuptown is threatened by power-hungry pig Sir Percival Snout, Pigsticks must acquire enough money to buy it back from the tyrannical tycoon. With help from hamster pal Harold, Pigsticks searches for a long-lost pirate treasure to save his beloved town. Piggy puns abound in the third humorous, brightly illustrated early chapter book starring the unflappable duo. (c) Copyright 2017. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
