One boy and his toy are about to change everything....

Jack loves his childhood toy Dur Pig. DP has always been there for him, through good and bad. Until one Christmas Eve something terrible happens - DP is lost. But Christmas Eve is a night for miracles and lost causes, a night when all things can come to life...even toys. And Jack’s newest toy - the Christmas Pig (DP’s annoying replacement) - has a daring plan: Together they’ll embark on a magical journey to seek something lost and to save the best friend Jack has ever known....

A heartwarming adventure about one child’s love for his most treasured thing and how far he will go to find it. A tale for the whole family to fall in love with, from one of the world’s greatest storytellers.

From the brilliant mind of J.K. Rowling, the fantastic author who brought us the magical Harry Potter Saga comes another powerful story about the meaning of friendship!

When Jack loses his best friend, a plush toy pig, he has to travel to the Land of the Lost in order to find him. What follows is a captivating adventure that will delight and entertain kids, young adults, and grown-ups alike.

The audio production features a full cast of talented actors and narrators, plus music and sound effects that elevate and enrich the narrative experience.

I highly recommend this superb audiobook to everyone young at heart, but especially to families looking for a short story that they can listen to together during the winter holidays.

I can definitely see this becoming a Christmas classic in a few years, as nobody can write about children and friendship better than J. K. Rowling.

Powerful story about friendship and the meaning of things

If you are a fan of the Phantom Tollbooth, you will appreciate the metaphors and puns in this story. With a full cast and sound effects, it is more like a radio drama than a regular audiobook. I enjoyed listening to it in the car with my 11-year-old. Although the climax/ending is a bit frightening with the added sound effects, overall it is great for kids. There is also a great message about taking care of what we have, keeping and repairing things instead of tossing them. I highly recommend this title.

What an experience!

We listened to this and it is a wonderful story. Has a sad part but really good at explaining to pre-teen that things good and bad happen in life but they too can be overcome. Good Job. Another hit at our house
