Heather the pig has it all: a lovely farm to live on in the Scottish countryside, apples of all kinds to devour, and a doting best friend in the farmer s daughter, Isla. Unfortunately, Heather s idyllic existence is shattered when Isla s dad has to sell the farm to pushy Farmer Busby and move with Isla to far-off London. Heather is bereft but determined to reunite with Isla somehow. She gets her chance when she becomes the unlikely star of Busby s new advertising campaign to promote the farm. In no time, Heather is being whisked to London for a film shoot! Her handlers have big plans for Heather in this glamorous city, but pig-headed Heather has other ideas. After a daring escape, Heather is on the run and in pursuit of Isla! Finding her shouldn t be difficult, Heather reasons. After all, how many girls with freckles can there be in London?"
