It's week one with our holiday-themed book, A Court of Sugar and Spice by Rebecca F. Kenney, and this week we're reading chapters 1-7! This week, we meet our two main characters, Clara and Louisa and their unfortunate circumstances now that their father is dead and they have to move into their Godfather's house! We meet the (smuldering?) nutcracker, and Kristen tries to point out all of the differences between this Nutcracker retelling and the original ballet while Catherine deals with it!
