A wide variety of Wintery and Festive stories featuring all kinds of backgrounds and diverse representation.
Some of my favourites were The Frostwilds, The Ticking Funhouse (this was super-creepy!) and Scrabble and Murder. I'll be looking up any other books by some of these authors.
Unfortunately there were also a few that I didn't enjoy as much, but that was mainly due to feeling as though the story wasn't quite complete or was just part of a bigger story.

Like with all story anthologies it’s a bit of a mixed bag but there are some excellent ones in there. It’s introduced me to some new writers which is always fantastic as well. A great anthology for avid young readers and their guardians.

This was a collection of winter mysteries written by middle grade authors. As with most collections of short stories, I preferred some over others.
