BOOK 97: The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, by Barbara Robinson


Rating: 3 stars

Cover synopsis: The Herdman kids lie and steal and smoke cigars. They talk dirty, hit little kids, cuss their teachers, set fires and take the name of the Lord in vain. No one is prepared when they invade church one Sunday -- and decide to take over the annual Christmas pageant.

I remember reading this book when I was in elementary school, and thought I'd pick it up again. It's a nice reminder that Christmas -- and Christ -- is for everyone, no matter what.
