What is Freddy and the pig about?

Freddy loves playing on his Xbox, but he does not enjoy school. So he hatches a brilliant plan: he sends a pig to take his place. At first, everything goes perfectly. The pig becomes the star pupil while Freddy stays at home and plays games. But as the pig grows cleverer, Freddy starts to behave more and more like a pig himself. Can Freddy undo his strange plan before his new school arrangement causes complete chaos?
