Clementine for Christmas
This
book, by Daphne Benedis-Grab, is about Josie, Oscar and Gabby.
Josie
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 is cancelled.
Meanwhile,
Oscars 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 hate
Christmas.
Gabby's
life seems perfect. She's stylish, smart, and everyone looks up to
her... But Gabby has a secret, and 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.
The book is amazing, and I should have read it last Christmas!
