In this brand new Tom and Huck adventure, Tom and Huck are still in Arkansas following the events of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. After Tom learns of a local legend-- a mythical wild pig the size of a calf called "Haggards Hoofs"-- Tom bets a local man he can catch it and win a special medal from the county fair. But Huck knows there's no guarantee the pig even exists-- let alone something he and Tom can capture in two days. Has Tom finally bet off more than he can chew?
Fully illustrated throughout with photographs of the cast of Super Science Showcase's Tom & Huck adventures, this brand new adventure also includes an exciting real fact article about the true science featured in the story, written by the Super Science Showcase staff, as well as educational discussion questions!
