This year, the girls are everywhere but home for the holidays. From a tropical cruise to a ski trip to Switzerland, it promises to be a Christmas to remember. Becca, Megan, Emma, Cassidy, and Jess have plenty of reading material to bring on their trips too, because the book club is tackling the Betsy-Tacy series before their next meeting on New Year's Eve.
But from unexpected blizzards to a sledding disaster, nothing goes as planned. Even the Secret Santa presents are turning into a huge disappointment. Worst of all, Becca's dad has lost his job, and Becca is determined not to let anyone find out—even if it puts her friends' goodwill to the ultimate test.
The mother-daughter book club is in desperate need of some winter cheer! Luckily, there are plenty of holiday miracles in store.

Gr 6-8-In this installment in the series, the five girls, now sophomores, and their mothers are reading Maud Hart Lovelace's "Betsy-Tacy" series. None of the girls is home for the holidays, as it turns out; two take a cruise, two stay at a fairytalelike inn, and one heads off to California. Parallels to the "Betsy-Tacy" books abound as the teens quarrel, make up, obsess about boys, and worry about a parent's unemployment and a possible move. Though they take turns narrating, their voices sound the same, and their world is filled with more delicious food, fabulous trips, cunning interior decoration, and cute clothes than a women's lifestyle magazine. This will be like candy for fans of Frederick's series, many of whom will be enticed to read Lovelace's books as well.-Eva Mitnick, Los Angeles Public Library
