Pig And The Rainbow Hair

Pig is fed up with getting picked on - especially by that Dean Gosnall, who always wants a fight. Pig decides that it's his red hair that's the problem, so Gran and Suki decide to help him change its colour. After purple, blue and green hair, it ends up bright, radioactive orange. How can Pig go to school with dayglo orange hair? The teachers will ban him and Goofy Gosnall will beat him up. Can Pig's mum rescue the situation?
