Another thoroughly charming addition to this series! The audiobook narrator does such a wonderful job of creating the characters through voice and I adore the little yips and howls of the “wolf children.” The mysteries of ancestry and curses deepen in this installment as Penelope and the children travel to Penny's alma matter for the C.A.K.E - Celebrate Alumni Knowledge Exposition.

I learned a lot about Oprah by the middle of the book (where I stopped reading), but generally found that Kelley spent a lot of time on the details and I was not invested enough to finish the book.

Another yearly read - great way to get in the holiday spirit

Some great stories in here, though I found the audiobook a little confusing as one narrator reads the entire collection.

Excellent navigation of the complicated palimpsest of the Troubles.
