Overview
From the New York Times–bestselling author and Grammy-nominated indie pop star 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 fraternal twins Stevie and Jordan Clementine want for Christmas is to enjoy it with both of their parents. Usually, Stevie and Jordan spend the week hopping between their uncle’s motel where they stay with their rambling rockstar father while he is in town, and home where their frazzled mom is busy with all her holiday charity work at the local community center. It’s a far cry from the movie-worthy Christmas the twins have always dreamed of, and it’s also the only family tradition they’ve ever known.
When their dad is offered a gig that will send him on tour for the next two years, mischief-minded Stevie ropes her reticent sister into a plan to get their parents under one roof for the holiday. If they can show their dad the joy of a true family Christmas, maybe he will turn down the job. But for their scheme to work, the girls will need plenty of holly-and-jolly cheer . . . and enough white lies to land someone on Santa’s naughty list.
As the half-truths begin to snowball, so does the mess left in their wake. Will Stevie and Jordan find a way to be honest with their parents (and themselves) and save the holiday before everything is Scrooged?
As cozy as a cup of cocoa and as fun and fresh as new-fallen snow, Tegan Quin’s first solo-written novel, Merry Christmess, is a joyful ode to how family messiness is sometimes the missing ingredient for true holiday magic.
