Utgivarens beskrivning
The Brewster triplets, Dawn, Darby, and Delaney, usually love Christmas. Decorations, singing carols, seeing Aunt Jane and their favorite neighbors, hot cocoa, and presents--what could be better? But this year nothing is going right, starting with their local Christmas pageant. They practiced looking wise and stroking fake beards so they could play the three Wise People, but what did they get cast as? Angels - and just because they're girls! Totally not fair.And things are going from bad to worse. No Aunt Jane, no megaphone, no Mom or Lily because of the snow--and someone is stealing decorations (and baked goods!) from their neighbors' houses. The girls don't want this to be the worst Christmas ever, but can they fix the pageant, solve the mystery, find their dad a new couch (it's a long story), and recover their holiday cheer?Three times the angels means three times the festivities in this hilarious story from Jennifer Ziegler.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The triplets from Revenge of the Flower Girls are back, and multiple forces are conspiring to ruin their Christmas. They are cast as angels in the upcoming pageant (they had practiced looking wise and reverent in hopes of playing the Wise Men), someone is vandalizing neighborhood holiday displays, financial stresses are adding to the family's problems, and that's all before the weather comes into play. As in the previous book, the narration rotates among Dawn, Delaney, and Darby, and their distinct personalities shine as they work together to try to solve each problem. The girls' penchants for big-ticket vocabulary words, continuing love of presidential trivia, and willingness to go to any lengths to set things right all contribute to a funny and satisfying sequel. Ages 8 12.
