'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, except for . . . Babymouse.
The holidays are here and everyone's enjoying their favorite traditions—eating latkes, decorating for Kwanza, singing holiday songs, and most of all, being with family.

And whether she has to face down the ghosts of mean girls past or outsmart Santa himself, she'll do whatever it takes to make sure she gets the present she wants. Will Babymouse find a whiz-bang under the tree? Will she learn the true meaning of the holidays? And what do you get for a narrator, anyway? Find out in A Very Babymouse Christmas—the 15th graphic novel in the hilarious, award-winning Babymouse series!

About this title

About the Author:

Brother-and-sister team MATTHEW HOLM and JENNIFER L. HOLM have been extremely good this year. If you're reading, Santa, Jennifer would love to find a surfboard under her tree and Matthew is still waiting for the Star Wars AT-AT walker he asked for when he was 10. When they're not busy decking halls, Jennifer is the New York Times bestselling author of several highly acclaimed novels, including three Newbery Honor-winners, Our Only May Amelia, Penny from Heaven, and Turtle in Paradise. Matthew Holm is a graphic designer and freelance writer. They are also the creators of the Squish series (which we think Rudolph would really enjoy).

From Booklist:

The Holms’ beloved, daydreaming heroine returns in this fifteenth adventure. It would be a crime not to open with “Not a creature was stirring, not even a . . . Babymouse,” and the Holms are happy to oblige in the first of Babymouse’s many Christmas-inspired reveries. Over in the real world, her life revolves around a sweet-talking mall Santa, crashing a friend’s Hanukkah celebration, and doing everything else mousely possible to make sure she gets the flashy new must-have doodad, called a Whiz Bang. A lesson in holiday spirit is learned, and fun, as always, will be had by all. Grades 3-5. --Ian Chipman
