Turkey Monster Thanksgiving

By Anne Warren Smith (Albert Whitman & Company, $6, Ages 13-16)

For 9-year-old Katie, a traditional Thanksgiving with her dad means eating pizza in their pajamas, but this year she wants a “real” Thanksgiving like other families. In this Thanksgiving book for tweens, Katie finds that sometimes even the oddest holiday dinners are successful because they come from the heart.
