|summary=I mentioned when reviewing [[Let It Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle]] that there was a real lack of festive YA around – at the time, I think the choice seemed to be pretty much limited to that or ''Dash and Lily’s Book of Dares'' by David Levithan and Rachel Cohn. Both fantastic books, but a thin spread compared to the amount out there for adults and for younger children. (If I’m missing obvious ones, by the way, please let me know!) Thankfully, a dozen authors, with Stephanie Perkins as the editor, have got together to produce a perfect Christmas present here with twelve short stories set around the holidays.

|title=Hider, Seeker, Secret Keeper
|rating=4.5
|genre=Teens
|summary=I was caught up by this novel from the first pages and read it with absorption in a single sitting. The young heroine, Lana Dukovskaya, is a third generation ballerina with the Bolshoi Ballet but the experiences of her mother and grandmother are shrouded and lost. Her grandmother's name, we discover, has been erased from the records and her mother is a troubled secretive figure. Lana challenges the conventional notion of a ballerina: she has close cropped hair, loves high speed motor bikes and most of all she wants to experiment with the repertoire.
