Two more books then:
Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein
Not particularly cheerful or Christmassy but a suspenseful thriller set in the 2nd World War with two feisty heroines and a bit towards the end that actually made me physically jump in my seat.
And...if it`s OK to recommend a book I haven`t quite finished.....another one by Katherine Rundell (she who wrote Rooftoppers see post on 8.12.2013) called The Girl Savage
Similar themes to The Rooftoppers - unconventional motherless girl comes up against convention in all its pomp and self-righteousness and....well, haven`t finished this one yet but suspect it will have an equally satisfactory ending and I`m now on a bit of a quest to find out more about the author.
Meanwhile, assuming we don`t blow away in the night, Happy Christmas and I`ll try and find a more seasonal recommendation for tomorrow.
