Description

Clementine for Christmas by Daphne Benedis-Grab (2015)

It’s the holiday season in Frost Ridge!  Josie usually keeps to herself at school, but the holidays are her favourite time of year and she comes out of her shell when she and her dog Clementine volunteer with the kids at the local hospital.  Josie loves dressing up in silly costumes, singing carols and helping to prepare for the big Christmas Festival.  That is, until she learns that this year’s Festival has been cancelled.

Meanwhile, Oscar’s parents’ constant fighting makes his home feel like a battlefield and to make matters worse, he gets into trouble at school.  His punishment is spending the holiday season volunteering at the Frost Ridge hospital ― even though he hates Christmas.

Gabby’s life seems perfect.  She’s stylish, smart and everyone looks up to her… But Gabby also has a secret, one that could ruin everything.  And when she winds up in the hospital, she’s sure the truth will be discovered.

Then, as if things couldn’t get worse, Josie’s beloved Clementine disappears, Oscar’s parents separate, and Gabby’s secret is uncovered.  Together, can Josie, Oscar, and Gabby find a way to save the holiday, or will this be the worst Christmas ever?
