Noel thinks that it is the worst Christmas ever because her parents have announced that they won’t be taking a cool vacation during Christmas this year and her best friend gets Nick, her one and only crush, for the school Secret Santa project and, who does she get? A stuck-up new girl she barely knows. Can it get any worse? Yes, itt can ! Because Noel got the lamest Secret Santa ever! But things don’t stay that way for long. Noel’s Secret Santa makes it all up to her in the end and Noel finds out a lot about Mia, the new girl. She isn’t as stuck up as she seems . In the end, Noel’s mum delivers a baby boy who is much-loved and Noel discovers that her Secret Santa is actually her crush, Nick, who had accidentally lost her locker number in the beginning. Noel, Nick, Mia and Claire spend their Christmas holiday together. And well, staying at home doesn’t seem that bad of a prospect to Noel, all thanks to her friends.
Conclusion :
At first,Noel was angry and jealous about what her friends’s Secret Santa gave them while her Secret Santa had practically gave nothing to her. But later on, she learnt to look on the positive side of things and look how well everything turned out to be.
Opinion:
This book is really full of surprises and portrays the feeling of one fed-up teenage girl who feels like the whole world is turning against her. It touches on the true meaning of friendship, family love and loyalties. This book uses vocabularies and sentences that are really clear and easy to understand so i would recommend soon-to-be-teenagers to read .
