In making holiday booklists for work I have come to realize there are not a lot of holiday themed books for thie middle grade market. There are tons and tons of picture books, but you reach this age and it's pretty slim. Even the teen market has expanded in the last couple of years, so hopefully this age group comes next!

This is sort of like if The Parent Trap happened around the holidays, but instead of trying to get their paretns back together, they're just trying to learn more about each other. It's just a fun time, and both characters were equally fleshed out. A really enjoyable middle grade holiday story!
