Tweens enjoy the holiday decorations, gatherings, and traditional activities like baking, putting up the Christmas tree, and shopping for family and friends, and I tried to capture that essence in SOPHIE WASHINGTON: SECRET SANTA , my middle grade book for kids ages 8-12 . Whatever time of year you are reading this book I hope that you enjoy it and that the true Christmas spirit of giving and joyfulness shines through.

- Christmas is three weeks away and a mysterious “Santa” has been mailing presents to sixth grader Sophie Washington in this adorable, illustrated chapter book for middle grade readers. There is no secret Santa gift exchange going on at her school, so she can’t imagine who it could be. Sophie’s best friends, Chloe, Valentina, and Mariama guess the gift giver is either Nathan Jones or Toby Johnson, two boys in Sophie’s class who have liked her in the past, but she’s not so sure. Sophie uncovers clues to find her secret Santa and the final reveal is bigger than any package she’s opened on Christmas morning. It’s a holiday surprise she’ll never forget!
