A Redbird Christmas
By Flagg, Fannie
With the same incomparable style and warm, inviting voice that have made her beloved by millions of readers far and wide, New York Times bestselling author Fannie Flagg has written an enchanting Christmas story of faith and hope for all ages that is sure to become a classic. Deep in the southernmost part of Alabama, along the banks of a lazy winding river, lies the sleepy little community known as Lost River, a place that time itself seems to have forgotten. After a startling diagnosis from his doctor, Oswald T. Campbell leaves behind the cold and damp of the oncoming Chicago winter to spend what he believes will be his last Christmas in the warm and welcoming town of Lost River. There he meets the postman who delivers mail by boat, the store owner who nurses a broken heart, the ladies of the Mystic Order of the Royal Polka Dots Secret Society, who do clandestine good works.

Christmas Letters
By Macomber, Debbie
Katherine O'Connor often spends her days at a cozy caf on Blossom Street in Seattle - where she writes Christmas letters for other people. She's good at making their everyday lives sound more interesting. More humorous. More dramatic. But for Dr. Wynn Jeffries, who also frequents the caf, Christmas means lies and deception. In fact, the renowned child psychologist recommends that parents "bury Santa under the sleigh." Katherine, however, feels that his parenting philosophy is one big mistake - at least, based on her five-year-old twin nieces, who are being raised according to his "Free Child" methods. She argues with Wynn about his theories, while he argues that her letters are nothing but lies. They disagree about practically everything - and yet, somehow, they don't really want to stop arguing. As the days - and nights - move closer to Christmas, Katherine and Wynn both discover that love means accepting your differences. And Christmas is about the things you share ... .

Reviewed with Fay Robinson's Halloween Crafts.Gr. 2-4. Pillowcase ghosts, sock bats, and a "Santa Sneezebox" tissue cover are among the accessible projects featured in these books from the new Fun Holiday Crafts Kids Can Do! series. On each double-page spread, color photos illustrate the steps in a confusing jumble that children may find hard to follow, but Robinson's clear text will sort out what to do. A majority of the projects are refreshingly down-to-earth. Most can be completed in just a few steps and most are created from common household items and a few craft-store staples such as pipe cleaners; Xerox-ready patterns to enlarge are at the back of the book. Several projects may require an older person's assistance and safety notes appear throughout.

On Monday morning when theyre supposed to head home, they learn that the tree is missing, Packy Noonan may be in the vicinity, and Opal has disappeared.
