At least one review of middle grade literature every single day, and years of reviews going back to 2006. All the #MGLit you could ever want.

Secret Santa
Sabrina James' decidedly Chick Lit book is a whopping 345 pages, which makes it perfect for my girls who read two books every night! Once I got past the idea that a school would assign students a "secret Santa" project(even with a monetary limit this seemed unlikely, since we have a "generic holiday bush" and Santa is rather holiday-specific) and the coincidence that all of the pairs seemed to be boy-girl, it was okay. There were so many crushes and triangles that I almost wanted to keep a spread sheet to follow who liked whom, but I figured (correctly) that it would all work out in the end. The nice people found each other, the nasty people got their comeuppance, and the holiday dance was a fun culmination of all of the romantic speculation. The cover was the best thing, and this title will circulate very well.
