I loved this little story!

This was awful. It read like, "you shouldn't feel angry because you're too small to be. You should just stand perfectly still and breathe deep. It'll make you less of everyone's problem." I wholeheartedly believe that this book could hurt people if taken seriously.

This is a fun YA holiday book full to the brim with Christmas cheer! I thought this was a sweet story about Frankincense "Francie" and her life growing up in a family who lives Christmas. They own a Christmas shop and her father and his father before him have been the shining example of what Santa should be.

The story was good and I enjoyed it.
