{Review} Kat McGee and the School of Christmas Spirit @NovelNibble @intogethermedia

Kat McGee and The School of Christmas Spirit
If Kat McGee had one Christmas wish, she'd wish to be special. Instead, she's the boring middle in a family packed with sparkly siblings, including three sisters who have all starred as Mary in Totsville, Maine's annual big-deal Christmas Pageant. All Kat's done is wet her pants on a rollercoaster and earn herself the horrible nickname, "Kat McPee." When she doesn't get the part of Mary, Kat's convinced that Christmas will be just another Kat McPee failure. But then Kat's beloved Gram lets it slip that she went to school with Mrs. Claus. The Mrs. Claus. Before Kat knows it, a magical snowglobe whisks her away to the North Pole, where she makes friends, checks naughty and nice lists, and takes classes in cookie baking, reindeer training, and toy designing. It's a Christmas miracle... But something is wrong. The North Pole is being threatened, and only Kat McGee can help. Kat McGee and The School of Christmas Spirit is about a modern girl in a magical adventure. Kat is about to learn who you can be if you believe in Christmas... and yourself.

Biography

Rebecca Munsterer is the author of Novel Nibble, a website dedicated to short and sweet writing. Her two books, Mrs. Claus and The School of Christmas Spririt, and The Little Rippers, were both written during the summer. To find inspiration to write about the winter in July, she drank hot chocolate instead of lemonade.

Ms. Munsterer received a bachelor's degree in writing from Colby College and a MALS degree in creative writing from Dartmouth.

She lives in Norwich, Vermont with her lazy labrador retriever and an array of wild animals who howl in the middle of the night.





5 Stars
This book was adorable!  From the drawn pictures throughout to the Reading guide which goes per chapter with Vocab words and Discussion questions.  This is a great read for kids who know how and are having issues answering questions when the book is over.  My 9 year old found this book very helpful in that regard.  Within this Readers Guide are activities as well. Another great thing in this book is the CandyFruit Recipe at the Back of the book created by Celebrity Chef Tom Colicchio and Umber Ahmad's Mah-Ze-Dahr Bakery. Having this celebrity chef create the recipe for all of the Kat McGee Adventures is such an amazing thing, and the publisher and author are very excited to let everyone know!
