PIGS MIGHT FLY, by Nick Abdazis and Jerel Dye, is like nothing I've ever read before. The world is 100% pig, with pig themed names for towns, people and sayings, not to mention a very cool pig-themed creation myth. A detailed, awesome map of the Pigdom Plains at the start sets the scene for Lily Fatchop, girl inventor, believer in the truth of science and the power of magic, when applied with balance. One of the most fascinating aspects of PIGS MIGHT FLY is the presence of science and magic and the way that they are perceived and practiced in the various cultures in the story. An inventor, engineer and respected government employee, Lily's dad, Professor Fatchop, is frustrated that he has had to put his experiments with flight on hold to dig safety tunnels to protect the shire from invaders. Just as Lily, secretly and with the help of her younger cousin Archie, gets her plane airborne, saving the engine when it crashes with a bit of well timed magic, warthogs from the wild lands over the mountains attack. Sensing the ineptitude of the government, Lily takes matters into her own hands after a second warthog raid. What she discovers is an oppressed pigdom where magic is being used for evil, not good, as the population suffers. Lily quickly realizes that she, and her new found friends, might be the only pigs who can save two different races of swine. What they don't realize is that there is also a supernatural force at play. The overwhelming presence of females in PIGS MIGHT FLY is fantastic. Abadzis and Dye definitely have a sequel in the works and the set up, foreshadowed if you paying really close attention, comes on the final page of the novel and is chillingly brilliant. @macmillankidsbooks @01firstsecond @nickabadzis @jereldye #pigsofinstagram #pigs #pigsmightfly #graphicnovel #aircraft #kidsbookstagram #kidsbookreview #bookreview #summerreading #girlsrule #scienceandmagic #books4yourkids
