I know that many readers look forward to a story with a Christmas setting at this time of the year. Well, my experience with Young Adult literature is that you might find a book set during the holiday season, but not very often. Christmas comes and goes, but doesn't very often become the setting for the entire story. So, while children read about Santa and adults read about family gatherings, Young Adults continue to read about zombies and the apocalypse. But, I have come across one book over the years that lets the holidays be a focus.
