It's Christmas time and North Ridge High School has decided to take this as an opportunity to do a school-wide Secret
Santa.
Best friends Noelle Kramer and Lily Norris are indifferent about this idea. Noelle takes it as a chance to finally connect and
tell her longtime crush/next door neighbor, Charlie Grant, that they are meant to be together. Lily wants nothing to do with
love or romance, since just before school started her boyfriend, Jason, decided to dump her for another girl.
Celia Armstrong is the new kid in town, but once she moved in she instantly became popular when Amber Davenport and
Shawna Westin decided to befriend her. Unfortunately, Celia never wanted to be popular. She would rather have friends
that didn’t judge what she wore or made her do things she never wanted to do. Just like Noelle, Celia saw Secret Santa as
the perfect opportunity to tell her crush, Jake Morrisey, that she really liked him. Even though she surprisingly picked his
name out of the bag, she knew Amber and Shawna wouldn’t approve of him.
Amber and Shawna both have boyfriends already, but the one bad thing about them is that their boyfriends aren’t seniors.
Shawna is fine with her boyfriend, but Amber wants to be able to snag an upperclassman.
All five girls have their own motives, but will they end up with what they wanted? 'Tis the season to be… confused!
SECRET SANTA will put you in the Christmas spirit, even if it is only October. A quick and quirky read, Sabrina James
makes you guess throughout the entire book on how the events will turn out. The perfect stocking stuffer and/or a book
you can read by the fire with loads of hot chocolate nearby.
