Various authors
3/5
This is a
collection of short stories about Christmas written by various YA authors to support
the charity Crisis. The stories are all completely separate so it is a really
good book to read if you have a spare 20 minutes or so every day as you can
read one story and not have to worry about forgetting the plot as they are all
individual. To be truthful, I hadn’t heard of most of the authors who have
stories in this book and I only purchased it because there is a story by Holly
Bourne and she is one of my favourite authors. However, I will definitely be
looking into some of the authors as I really enjoyed most of the other stories.
This is
quite a difficult book to review because it would take me a long time to review
every single story so I’m just going to list a few of my favourites. Of course,
The Afterschool Club by Holly Bourne was one of my favourites, but I also
really enjoyed Ghosts of Christmas Past by Non Pratt, Family You Choose by Cat
Clarke and Homo for Christmas by Juno Dawson.
I would
definitely recommend this book if you are looking for something to get you into
the festive spirit and if you just want a quick and easy read. This book also supports
a really great cause so you know your money is being used well.
