We had two exciting middle grade novels for 8-12 year olds to start the year off. Journey’s End by Rachel Hawkins. We loved this story of Nolie’s visit with her father to the mysterious and a rather spooky seaside Scottish village of Journey’s End.

A new year and two beautiful pictures books to start us off. Imagine a City by Elise Hurst. Originally published in Australia in 2014, this amazing book has finally made its way to North America. We are new to Elise’s incredible work but will forever be fans.

We picked two great novels for 8-12 year olds this month and although one of them is the story of how Father Christmas came to be, we really feel that it could be read anytime of the year. Both books would make wonderful read-a-louds.

We had great fun picking the picture books for the December box. Santa’s Eleven Months Off is a delightful rhyming book by Mike Reiss from New York. Each double page spread shows Santa’s crazy adventures throughout the year.
