SAVING DUR PIG

This is a charming book by J.K. Rowling that it’s kinda mix of Alice in Wonderland and the Island of Misfit Toys from Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

Jack is a child that while dealing with a new combined family, specially a new stepsister who is having troubles to accept the new family, he meets a magical pig who will help him to find his old pig toy in a magical realms made of several places where all lost things went.

I liked it a lot, since it’s told from the perspective of the kid and it’s quite realistic his way of analizing things and seeing life.

I believe that this story could make a wonderful stop-motion xmas TV special like those of 70s, even a movie since you got a lot of strange and cool places inside of the magical realm, therefore there is enough material to make a whole film, and while CGI is kinda the most usual way to make animated movies nowadays, I still think that a stop-motion option could be a wonderful way to present it.

Highly recommended to read in xmas time.
