Add another great story to read each year for Christmas!

Wonderful book to read because the characters are so vivid they literally jump off the page. I read it each year to my students and I find myself looking forward to Capote's short story as much as the students do. The story's setting in a small town atmosphere makes the reader want to visit for Christmas and stay awhile.Vocabulary,intrigue and suspense all make this and unforgettable book. After reading The Jug Of Silver,Appleseed and his little sister Middy are characters to remember and remind us all that hope helps up all survive.This would make a make an excellent holiday movie.
