Everything changes for Bonny when her "uncles" leave town. She has a summer job, a new school, and a dream: to play with the school orchestra in the summer concert. But there are some who think she doesn't belong - and not just the kids! Bonny wants to be interesting instead of just weird. She wants people to stop telling her what to do. Most of all, she wants to be independent. Porkington and Swinson know how tough life can be, especially when you start life as a piglet. They just want her to fit in. When her "uncles" head west for the summer, Bonny gets what she wants. Her job at Mugsy's should be a cinch, and she's sure to meet interesting people at the City School for the Arts, where her friend LaDonna will show her the ropes. At school she makes a discovery, and a new dream captures her imagination. She's determined to play with the orchestra in the summer concert! But Bonny's new job isn't easy. Some of the kids at school don't think she belongs. And the assistant principal is on a mission to seek and destroy. Bonny finds out that being independent is harder than she thought. If she has what it takes to reach her goal, will anyone be there to listen?
