Description

Study Guide (PDF) is now available online!

Mr. and Mrs. Watson think that 54 Deckawoo Drive will be the perfect home for their family—especially their beloved Mercy. But when Eugenia Lincoln gets wind that her new neighbor is a P-I-G (or a porcine wonder, depending on your point of view), Eugenia stirs up trouble of the most hilarious sort. Bring your appetite for a little comic mayhem, inadvertent heroism, and hot buttered toast.

From the beloved series by local author Kate DiCamillo (The Tale of Despereaux, Because of Winn-Dixie).

By Victoria Stewart
Adapted from the Mercy Watson series by Kate DiCamillo
Directed by Peter C. Brosius
