Loved the idea of a really short story every day. Some of the stories had a much better twist than the others, but that was okay, since they were so short. The long story at the end worked better to read after the holidays. Definitely not full of Christmas cheer! Really liked the main characters in this one, and it was hard to put down. It didn’t always go the way I hoped it would, but it definitely fit the theme.

Also, the illustrations are wonderful!
