Let it snow
Synopsis
A massive snowstorm hits the small town of Gracetown on Christmas Eve and sends three sets of teenagers on three linked adventures. In Maureen Johnson's "The Jubilee Express," Jubilee Dougal's train is stranded and she ends up meeting a boy named Stuart.
In John Green's "A Cheertastic Christmas Miracle," Tobin and his friends trek through the snow toward a Waffle House where a squad of cheerleaders is said to be stuck. In Lauren Myracle's "The Patron Saint of Pigs," Addie, fresh from a breakup, has to face her mistakes and a pig she has promised to collect.
The stories overlap in the same town and the same night, and together they make a warm, funny set of holiday romances.
