Part 7, Chapter 50 Summary: “The Island of the Beloved”

Hours pass, and Hope wakes up Jack and the Christmas Pig, telling them to jump out of the tapestry and land near the island. Jack jumps out, landing in the shallow ocean water around the sunny island, which sports palm trees and white sand. Toys rush out to see what is happening, and Jack is overjoyed to see DP. He laughs and cries, then hugs DP and tries to explain everything.


DP greets Jack and invites him into his little beach house, where he lives with Jack’s old toilet-paper angel, which Toby the dog destroyed. Jack is amazed to be reunited with his old toys. DP explains that Jack and his mom’s love brought him and the angel to the Island of the Beloved when their bodies were destroyed in the human world. DP admits to Jack that he was broken apart when a truck drove over him on the highway; there is now nothing left for Jack to find but bits of cloth and beans. Jack is upset by this news and wants to take DP home. DP tells him that this is possible because Christmas Eve is a night for miracles, but Jack suddenly realizes that the Christmas Pig is not there with them.
