Overview
12 Strays of Christmas is sure to bring cheer to even the most reluctant celebraters! With themes of belonging and grief grounded in a funny, adorable first-crush story, this book is sure to check every box on the holiday wish-list.
Holly does NOT have Christmas cheer this year. She and her family just moved to Chicago, far from all of her friends and family. And now her brother’s annoying (and annoyingly cute) new friend couldn’t be more cheerful. And Holly definitely doesn’t want to volunteer at the local shelter, with all of the dogs who remind her of the dog she lost last Christmas.
When she’s forced to volunteer at the local shelter through her school, she’ll just have to push aside her sad feelings and ignore those cute puppy eyes. But she can’t put aside her feelings when she sees Drummer, the runt of the litter, who looks exactly like the dog she lost.
When Drummer gets loose during the big holiday adoption event, Holly must track him down. Will the magic of Christmas help her to reunite with Drummer?
