This is a refreshing Christmas story about a ten-year-old kid in a parochial school in 1964.  The author does a great job in reading, particularly the accent of the Russian girl and her parents. There are some hilarious moments as they perform the Christmas program and the rest of the book is fairly humorous.  All the characters were good and the story was enjoyable to listen to.
