Louise Tolliver, an eleven year old, is outside getting ready to wish upon a star when her big brother, Willie, starts giving her a hard time. He makes fun or her and she mouths back to him telling him he’s a pig. Little did she know that she wished he WAS a pig. Later that evening when Willie hasn’t shown back up, Louise’s mom grows nervous and calls the local sheriff to investigate. What they don’t know, but discover shortly after, is that Willie is now a pig in their pen! Can they get him switched back before it’s too late and he is butchered?
