The Last Holiday Concert by Andrew Clements is my first Winter Read! This is a hilarious book that unfolds into a great story. The artistic plot lands school hot shot, Hart Evans, as the new 6th grade chorus directer just three and one half weeks before the 30 minute holiday concert performance. After a mishap with a rubber band Mr. Meinert, The real chorus director, gives up on trying to teach his group of easily distracted chorus members. He decides that since it is the kids preforming, it should the kids who run it as well. When the members vote for Hart to be the kid director, Mr. Meinert is sure that in a few days they will come running to him for help. Will Hart pull though with a concert?

Dearest Mags, This sounds wonderful. Especially because I WAS a choral director for years before my present career!
