Her first published novel was The Sound of Munich, followed by Heart and Salsa, The Ghoul Next Door, Cake Pop Crush, You’re Bacon Me Crazy and Dead in the Water. When she was seventeen, she filled four journals with her handwritten first novel, titled “The Dream Keeper.” To escape her chores, she often lied to her parents about what time her shift started at the local fast food joint so that she could spend an extra hour writing in the parking lot in her mom’s faded Buick. As for myself, I’m going to start the next book in the series.When she was in kindergarten, Suzanne Nelson jotted down in a school keepsake album that she wanted to be a “riter.” Though she clearly had issues with spelling, she persisted, composing cryptic poems about rainbows, fairies, mud, and even Star Wars in spiral notebooks all through elementary school. I think that any child struggling to be happy with the Holiday’s could benefit from reading this book. It was everything that you’d expect in a soft crush novel such as it is. She also has to figure out if she is going to be anti-Christmas indefinitely or if she is going to have a change of heart. He seems to be interested in her as more then friends, but she has her sights set on another boy named Sawyer that she is convinced is perfect for her.Īs the story starts to unwind she has to figure out which boy she really does like in that way. They start to become really good friends. While she is helping them, she gets to know a boy named Alex that is working at the local Cocoa shop across the way. Her parents force her to help them with their Holiday photo set up at the mall. Her parents kept trying to help bring her back into the spirit by carrying on with family traditions and such, but she appeared to be stuck on staying, for lack of better wording a Grinch. She lost her Grandma and once she lost her she stopped believing in the Christmas Magic, so as to say.
