      • content: What happens when you select a dozen of the greatest YA writers, ask each of them to compose a holiday short story, and turn their results over to 12 talented narrators? Lots of YA listening pleasure! Dustin Rubin energetically recounts David Levithan's comedic tale of a young, gay Jewish teen whose lover asks him to pose as Santa Claus to fool his kid sister. Julia Whelan embraces Holly Black's wit and intensity in a fantasy view of the little known December holiday in "Krampulslauf." Abby Craden's sarcastic tones speak up for Gayle Forman's jaded Jewish scholarship student, who gets a wider view of stereotyping in "What the Hell Have You Done, Sophie Roth?" This holiday anthology celebrates myriad themes, diverse tones, and a host of engaging characters and intriguing settings. S.W. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine

        Starred review from September 15, 2014
        Cute boys, mistletoe, counting down to the midnight kiss on New Year’s Eve—there’s no shortage of cozy setups for holiday romance in this captivating collection of short stories by a dozen of today’s top YA authors. Readers will also find a broad cross-section of other emotions and relationships in these tales about the significance of varied holiday traditions. Jenny Han delivers a fantasy-tinged entry about a Korean girl left as an infant in Santa’s sleigh, who is now the only human girl at the North Pole (and crushing on a cute elf). Kelly Link delves into supernatural territory, featuring a mysterious Christmas Eve visitor in an elegantly embroidered coat. And the Jewish narrator of David Levithan’s story undertakes a wild nighttime mission, donning a Santa suit to help preserve a sense of Christmas magic for his boyfriend’s young sister. A rare seasonal treat. Ages 13–up.
