“And isn’t this how Christmas should be celebrated? Being with the ones you love … and loving your friends and neighbors as God loves them?”
TJ Finkelstein realizes Christmas is six days away and she has nothing to give her dad. Of course her younger sister, Violet, is getting their dad a super gigantic TV, so TJ must find a way to get some money so she can give their dad an even bigger and better present.
Everything this Christmas season is a competition. Can TJ beat Violet and get a bigger present for their dad? Who will have the best decorated locker at school? How can TV sensation Hesper Breakahart make serving a meal to the homeless with Chad Steel bigger and better … for herself?
This book focuses primarily on TJ – the other characters don’t play as large a role as they did in the earlier books, including goofy 23rd-century time travelers Herby and Tuna.
To raise Christmas funds, TJ gets a job as Santa’s helper at Bags Fifth Avenue, which quickly turns into the job as Santa himself. On top of that, she gets dragged into taking care of Lady Goo Goo’s three children – a germaphobe, a “Viking” who wants world domination, and a water freak. TJ doesn’t care she’s so swamped, though, because she thinks she’ll be able to pull in lots of Christmas cash … until disaster strikes yet again.
With a little help from Herby and Tuna, TJ learns she’s placing too much emphasis on the material side of Christmas and that she needs to ignore what others say and do and just experience the true nature of Christmas.
“Ho-Ho-Nooo!” was another goofy tale with a powerful message for kids of all ages in the “TJ and the Time Stumblers” series.
Five stars out of five.
