Deck the Halls

Pam Sartain

Regan Reilly's father is kidnapped, and she has to try to negotiate his release at the same time as trying to comfort her mother who has broken her leg. 

It's a good story for Christmas, with the excitement of children looking forward to Christmas, and the importance of family high in the story.
