The Christmas Pig by J.K. Rowling

3.0

From the book blurb and the cover, I thought this was going to be a feel-good Christmas story. It has a mostly happy ending, but most of the book was filled with lots of sadness and misery. The first few chapters contain domestic issues, a couple divorces, and bullying before we ever get to the actual adventure, which then includes a lot of cruelty in the Land of the Lost. There are bright spots/moments which probably kept me reading, but it took me way longer to finish this book than it should have because I was not invested in the characters at all.
The artwork was the highlight of the book and I wish there had been more of it.
