The Christmas Pig by J.K. Rowling
5.0
This book was all the feel-good, Christmas magic I was hoping it would be, and more. By the end of Part One, I'd cried three times and laughed even more, which I was not expecting but thoroughly pleased about.
I absolutely loved Jack, he's such a great protagonist, he's so kind and loving and brave. The Things are all so fleshed out, I felt SO MUCH with each of them. Some cracked me up, some infuriated me, some tugged at my heart, some made me cheer for them. The Land of the Lost was so immersive and real and frightening and wonderful, the friendships were as powerful as expected from Rowling, and the adventures were just as incredible.
I definitely see rereading The Christmas Pig every Christmas as a new tradition. What a wonderful, magical gift befitting a wonderful, magical season.
