Six Geese a' Slaying — Kathleen Bacus

Sure, 'tis the season for peace on earth and good will to all, but for nineteen-year-old Tressa Jayne Turner, this year's holiday season plays out more like the nightmare before Christmas -- Calamity Jayne style. When her grandma's nemesis, Abigail Winegardner, plans a living nativity, complete with a camel, Tressa's competitive grandma won't be outdone. Gammy is determined to create her own living -- and molting -- “Twelve Days of Christmas” pageant, but her aviary extravaganza is in jeopardy when the stars go missing, turning this holiday into a wild goose chase that's bound to ruffle more than a few feathers. Will the plucky Tressa track down the missing cast before the curtain rises?
