The Christmas Pig by J.K. Rowling
5.0
This ultimately is such a heartwarming story of the love we pour into our beloved childhood toys.
This book would be perfect for parents to read to their younger children and can be appreciated by adults for the love we can share with Replacements. I don’t know that teens would necessarily appreciate the “lesson” of the book… but some I’m sure would!
The storyline flowed nicely and kept me invested as I got further and further into the Land of the Lost. I loved the way all our lost items come alive in the Land of the Lost. I enjoyed the way the lost items were given residence in each of the cities. It was a very well thought out land. The Loser is appropriately terrifying, though I would have loved a *little more development with him. I felt the anxieties of Jack and CP as they searched for DP and the relief when they evaded capture (only to of course find themselves in danger again). I wondered what would come next and was glad to find out how everything wrapped up.
A truly enjoyable book!
