|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=No Known Grave (A Detective Inspector Tom Tyler Mystery)
|rating=4.5
|genre=Crime
|summary=By the middle of 1942 Detective Inspector Tom Tyler has had a difficult two years and he's making a fresh start in Ludlow. St Anne's Convalescent Hospital is on the outskirts of the town and it's staffed by nursing sisters who are Anglican nuns and they're there specifically to help people who have been maimed and injured by the war. It should be a peaceful place of recovery but then a double murder in the grounds of the home shatters all that has been so carefully built up. Many of the patients are blind or unable to walk and most are suffering from what we would now call post-traumatic stress disorder - but it seems as though one of the patients must be a murderer as this is almost a classic 'locked room' mystery.
