Today’s book can probably be found in your local library if you don’t have it sitting on your shelf. It’s a short, chapter book for girls, but you might enjoy it too.
Kirsten’s Surprise: A Christmas Story by Janet Beeler Shaw
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I remember loving this story as a child. There was excitement and Christmas and a surprise planned. I enjoyed learning about St. Lucia day. It was just as much fun rereading it now that I am so much older. The interactions between Kirsten and her cousins and their desire to make their plan work, made me smile as that’s how I would have been. And the ending is sweet.
Did you grow up reading any of the American Girl books? If so, who was your favorite? Do you do any Christmas traditions from other countries?
I read this book once-upon-a-time… I don’t like most of the AG books, though some of the older ones (like this one) weren’t too bad.
I agree, the newer AG books just aren’t that good. But some of the older ones I like.
