During a Christmas shopping trip, Mary Anne got into a large debt on her father’s credit card. Babysitting can’t afford to pay, so she takes a secret job as a department store elf to pay her father back.

I read this to get in the Christmas mood. While the story is a bit absurd (a thirteen-year-old boy gets a job thanks to no one doing a background check or asking for legal identification), it’s sweet. In prose, Weyn is definitely one of the better ghostwriters.

Mary Anne has a skeleton in her closet. It means she keeps a secret life that no one wants to know. One day, she worked in a mall. Then this girl Angela appeared. The spiers are so kind because they let Angela spend Christmas in their home. I am very satisfied with this book =)

I found this book to be really cute and Christmas-themed, albeit a bit short. Well, it’s The Baby-Sitters Club book, so I couldn’t have expected more. Anyway, a nice Christmas story! 🙂

Maryann gets a job as an elf to pay for the credit card she used to buy Christmas presents. Also does charity work for children in hospital for the holidays.
