Pigs might fly

Maggie Gordon

Take Porco Posso and smash it together with the female-led movies of Studio Ghibli like Nausicaa and you get this strange, but rather delightful tale about a land of pigs, magic, and airplanes. It's exciting, but with some interesting dialogues about faith and technology that are accessible to children. Longer than most graphic novels for this age group, but that means the story is meatier, and the characters better explored. The female lead is excellent, both strange and brave, and the world is such a strange, but quaint little place that I think kids will enjoy diving into.
