by time news

Time.news – Arrives on the shelves of bookstores all over the world JK Rowling’s new book, ‘The Christmas Pig’, the first novel – for readers aged eight and over – by the author after the best-selling Harry Potter saga. In Italy the publication is edited by Salani. At the same time it will also be released in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and India for the Hachette Group, in the US and Canada for Scholastic, and will be translated into more than twenty languages.

The protagonist is Jack, who loves his fabric pig, Mimalino, known as Lino. The two are inseparable, on good days and bad days. One Christmas Eve, however, the worst happens: Lino gets lost.

Jack is not discouraged, it is Christmas Eve, the day of miracles and on that magical night the toys can come to life. So Jack and his new puppet, the Christmas Pig embark on a bold plan.

Together they will embark on a breathtaking journey to the Land of the Lost, where – with the help of a talking lunch box, a brave compass and a winged being named Hope – they will try to save the best friend Jack has ever had from the terrible Loser: a monster made of debris that devours everything.

‘The Christmas Pig’ follows JK Rowling’s return to the children’s publication last year with the fairy tale ‘The Ickabog’ serialized online during the lockdown.
