A little girl’s belief in Santa is restored in this ode to the magic of Christmas.

It’s two weeks before Christmas, and Deja is worried that Santa might not be able to visit her — after all, as a city kid, she doesn’t have a chimney for him to come down and none of the parking spots on her block could fit a sleigh, let alone eight reindeer! But with a little help from her family, community, and Santa himself, Deja discovers that the Christmas spirit is alive and well in her city. (From GoodReads.)
