Christmas Challenge 5th December - The Twelve Days of Dash and Lily 

5/12/2016

0 Comments

 
A young adult title today as a change from picture books. This is the first time I have met Dash and Lily but now I am determined to go back and read their story up to now. Lily usually loves Christmas but this year worries about her grandfather who has had a heart attack and a potential house move have dashed her festive spirits before they've had a chance to take hold. Her brother and boyfriend are determined to bring back her sparkle and the way they do this is touching, funny and full of love, despite the fact that they really don't get along.  Some lovely festive scenes and descriptions of New York made me smile, I loved the ice skating scene. A few tears fell in the course of the story too but there is a warm  happy ending to look forward to. A great, family orientated read , with mishaps, misunderstandings and touching moments along the way.
