  From the New York Times–bestselling author and Grammy-nominated artist comes a funny, warm-hearted debut middle-grade novel about sisterhood, family, and how the holiday season is a time to be merry—and messy.​All twins Stevie and Jordan Clementine  want for Christmas is to enjoy the holiday with both of their Grinchy parents—something  they haven’t done with their traveling rock star father and work-obsessed mom since  they were too young to remember. Instead, the sisters expect to spend this season  as they always do: hopping between their uncle’s motel, where they stay with Dad  while he is in town, and home, where Mom is too frazzled from organizing the endless  holiday celebrations at the local community center to have much Christmas  spirit left for her kids.But when news arrives  that could wreck the halls, mischief-minded Stevie ropes her reluctant sister  into a plan to save the holiday: get their parents under one roof for a  movie-worthy Christmas. For their scheme to work, the girls will need plenty  of holly-and-jolly cheer, enough messy white lies to land on Santa’s naughty  list . . . and unexpected help from some four-legged friends.Irresistibly festive  and fun, Tegan Quin’s first solo novel is a fresh celebration of the season  that reveals how family messiness is sometimes the missing ingredient for true  holiday magic.

  Told through "moments of despair, heartbreak, laughter, and triumph" (Kirkus), this "inspiring" (Booklist) and "hopeful" (School Library Journal) memoir tells the true story of how a modern teen girl and her Holocaust-survivor friend fought against hate to create change.    In 2018, fourteen-year-old Claire Sarnowski stood with ninety-two-year-old Alter Wiener in front of the Oregon state senate to champion a cause the two friends both believed in: making Holocaust education mandatory in their state’s public school curriculum. Theirs was an unexpected friendship—she was in elementary school when they met, and he was an aging Holocaust survivor whose memoir she had read—and together they were going to change the American education system. Alter had spent decades speaking to audiences of all ages and backgrounds about the Holocaust, teaching that “never forgetting” could help spread tolerance and prevent such an atrocity from happening again. But Claire knew hate crimes were still being committed, in her own town and even in her own school. She didn’t want Alter’s efforts on Holocaust education to be in vain. From strangers to friends to law-changing history makers, Claire and Alter’s mission was always simple: Remember this story. This page-turning memoir is a tribute to a man who survived the worst of humanity, an ode to friendship and community, and an empowering call to activism.
